27 Kellogg St, Fort Plain, NY 13339

#1213 - W. Montgomery County    You won't find this elsewhere: modernized yet historic home, right in the village, but with 4.1 acres, very private, and a cavernous pole barn. Supposedly built around 1840, but with Victorian lines, it is been maintained and is up to date, yet retains its charming old features.    The land is mostly mature wooded side hill, with a few level spots. There is 718' of frontage in the front and another 214' in the back. But you don't notice other houses and they don't see you. Circular drive, paved, with brick paved walks and patio. You'll find a view through the trees of the entire village spread out below you. The village supplies award-winning public water + sewer and natural gas. The grounds have some special trees, a Frasier Magnolia (has huge blossoms & leaves, the only one known north of West Virginia),  a huge 3-trunked large Black Walnut, Sugar Maple, Chinese Quince..... Older fences mostly designate the boundaries. If you are into landscaping, you'll have a blast here.    Inside are 2023 ft2 of living space. Downstairs, you will find living and dining rooms, modern kitchen, laundry,  wainscoted craft or exercise room, a mud room, and a half bath. On the second floor is a full bath, 3 bedrooms (11x15', 13x14', 11x18') and an office at the head of the black stairs. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet. This is a place that holds its own, even against higher-priced properties.    There is a 95% efficient gas furnace, large thermal windows, many closets (some are quite large), newer hardwood floors with the hand-scraped look, and a new HW heater.   Original features include all molding and trim, all interior doors, two sets of French door-like hinged windows, the fireplace, some extra wide doors, transom light panels, corner cupboard, with other built-ins elsewhere and a mahogany-floored front porch which is set up for winter enclosure. Shingle roof (good shape), attic, and large full basement with a wash sink and shower (not used).    There is a newer and very large Morton building. It measures 45-66' and it has a cement floor, its own electric entrance, and 2 large overhead doors, with 18' sidewalls. You'll find it perfect for large home hobbies or small business storage. There is a loft in one part.    Taxes are $5800 with only the Star exemption. Asking just $320000. Shown by appointment; as  you cannot see it from the road.
