1 / 67 · 17 Walnut St, Cooperstown NY

A big barn-red house on a quiet village street: 4,373 square feet, a new metal roof, and the expensive work already done — sewer line, oil tank, kitchen, a bath rebuilt to the studs. Upstairs, a full three-bedroom apartment that has paid its own way for years. Main Street, the school, and Otsego Lake are all a short walk from the door.

Cooperstown, New York

America's village, out the front door

Cooperstown is a lake town, a hospital town, and the home of baseball all at once — a village where kids walk to school, summer brings the world to Main Street, and Otsego Lake is minutes away. Walnut Street sits quietly just south of it all.

Main Street: Shops, restaurants, and the post office a short walk away
National Baseball Hall of Fame: The village's world-famous anchor
Otsego Lake: Glimmerglass — beaches, boating, and Lakefront Park
Bassett Medical Center: A major regional hospital, minutes from the door
Cooperstown Central School: Walkable K–12 in the village
Doubleday Field: Summer baseball two blocks off Main
