Country Charm Near Delhi & Oneonta Nestled in the rolling hills of Franklin, just minutes from Delhi and an easy drive to Oneonta, this welcoming country home on 1+/- acre offers both charm and convenience. Situated on a well-maintained county road, the property is framed by a stone wall & garden - evoking the timeless character of a countryside retreat. Step inside to a cheery farmhouse-style kitchen with warm wood floors, a half bath, and views of the stone wall and surrounding landscape. A formal dining room and a spacious living room with a woodstove and sliding glass doors to the back deck create inviting spaces for gatherings. A den with a full bathroom on the main level provides the potential flexibility for a future first-floor bedroom suite if desired. Upstairs, you’ll find four comfortable bedrooms and a full bath, with soothing views from every window. The semi-finished basement extends the living space, featuring electric heat, a woodstove, and laundry area. Recent upgrades include a new roof with gutter guards, several new windows, and the convenience of Delaware County Electric Co-op service and high-speed Internet. The exterior offers just as much to enjoy—a private backyard, back deck for morning coffee or evening grilling, a storage shed, and a one-car garage with extra storage. The asphalt driveway adds easy year-round access. For those who love the outdoors, several hundred acres of nearby DEP watershed land are open for hiking, hunting, and light recreation. This property has been the setting for cherished family memories—apple-picking and pie-baking, deer grazing at dawn, and evenings by the fire in every season. Whether enjoying summer mornings cool and bright, fall’s explosion of color, or the hush of snowfall in winter, this home offers year-round magic. The location is equally inspiring: enjoy local dining at favorites like La Toscana or Bella Michael’s, or make a day of it with trips to Gilbert Lake State Park, Glimmerglass Opera, or the Franklin Stage Company. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle of warmth, nature, and community, waiting to be embraced.
