Perched on a hilltop acre in rural Sennett, NY, this 1802 post-and-beam farmhouse sits on land originally granted to a Revolutionary War veteran. Once featuring a separate kitchen outbuilding, the two structures were later joined by what is now the dining room—an addition that operated as a tavern in the mid-1800s.
Conveniently located just outside Auburn city limits, the property offers easy access to the college and Grant Avenue shopping, along with a peaceful backyard view stretching toward Highland Golf Course just beyond the pines.
Inside, the family room showcases seven oversized hand-hewn ceiling beams, still bearing visible axe marks—a true nod to its early American craftsmanship. Over the past two years, the home has been thoughtfully and extensively remodeled from top to bottom, blending historic character with modern efficiency. Updates include all new electrical and plumbing, Ultimate Performance-grade Marvin windows, LP SmartSide siding (with a 30-year warranty), insulation, shiplap walls and ceilings, five heat pumps, central air, upgraded stainless steel appliances, and hickory hardwood floors throughout.
Outdoor living is just as inviting, with both a deck and a covered rocking chair porch—perfect for taking in sunsets and the surrounding landscape of pines, wildflowers, and mature flowering trees.
A rare opportunity to own 200+ years of character, seamlessly paired with the comfort and efficiency of today’s custom home.
