About this home
Historic four-story Victorian-Federal mansion built for a former New York governor stands on a 0.61-acre corner lot in Oneida Castle, minutes from Turning Stone Resort Casino and I-90. More than 5,370 sq ft showcase original banisters, ornate moldings, hand-carved trim, marble fireplaces, tall windows and a rooftop cupola plus modern plumbing, electrical and roofing. The grand foyer opens to gentlemen’s and ladies’ parlors, a formal dining room with built-in China closet, a massive gourmet kitchen with double gas ranges, butler’s pantry and family/breakfast room. Off the kitchen is a laundry; a covered porch and an enormous sunroom invite year-round indoor-outdoor living. A three-car carriage-house garage includes a complete apartment above, perfect for an in-law suite or rental.
Upstairs are six bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths; five are master suites with sitting rooms and private baths, and one is accessed via a balcony. The third level houses a walk-in attic and stairs to the cupola. Room types in the MLS include guest quarters, great room, in-law suite, library, den and sunroom. The fenced grounds feature mature trees, a gazebo and ample yard space; the lot measures 132×200 ft. Heating is gas-fired forced air with window/wall units for cooling.
Formerly the Governor’s House Bed & Breakfast, the home’s layout lends itself to hospitality: rent the suites individually while living in the sixth suite or the garage apartment, or host weddings, retreats and events in the giant sunroom and gardens. The apartment over the garage provides additional income potential as a short- or long-term rental or office. For buyers who cherish history and see value in restoration, this landmark offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of New York heritage and build a profitable lifestyle business or multigenerational residence. Additional highlights include a half bath on the main level, generous closets, and first-floor laundry. Utilities include public water and sewer. A rare chance to own a grand, income-producing estate!
