Cooperstown Renovated Schoolhouse, $579,000
Upstater Staff | December 29, 2014Real Talk: There are lots of really cool properties on the market in Cooperstown. And, according to the Census, the population has dropped nearly 10% since 2000. That means people are leaving. Why? Well, the job market is on the downswing (unemployment in general is about a percent lower than the US average). However, if you don’t have to rely on the local job market to make a living (or are retired, or looking for a second home), or you find yourself owning a successful shop/restaurant/baseball hat store, or you commute to a job at a hospital, school, or in county government, we suspect that you could make it work. Especially since the real estate prices are so good. As someone once sagely crooned, you take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have…upstate New York. And Cooperstown. But we want to focus on the good just for a sec, like this renovated c.1880 schoolhouse. The original bell is still perched inside the belfry. And the inside has ceilings for days, giving it a loft-like feel, with an open floor plan, brick mantle fireplace, and an additional apartment where the kindergarten room used to be. Situated on over a half-acre in the hamlet of Fly Creek just outside of Cooperstown.
