A Historic Gem: that is NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE and being SOLD FURNISHED! Step back in time while enjoying traditional comfort in this exquisite 1874 Second Empire Victorian, once home to the esteemed Dr. William Elting Johnson—renowned New York State Senator and beloved physician of the area. This stately 6-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence is not only a piece of Waverly’s history, but a living legacy. Constructed between 1869 & 1880 with thoughtful additions in 1880 and a kitchen modernization in the 1920s (now updated), the home is rumored to have hosted President William McKinley during a visit—adding presidential prestige to its story. Original blueprints, historical letters, and documents are included with the sale, preserving the home's rich narrative. In 1930, the home was acquired by Dr. Schamel, who established a thriving labor and delivery practice. It’s said that nearly everyone in the village was born here—further deepening its connection to the community. This residence seamlessly blends historical integrity with over $100,000 in thoughtful upgrades: All-new electrical wiring and updated panels. New underground natural gas service and high-efficiency furnace (2024, $12K investment) 50-gallon electric water heater (2023) with full-house water treatment system Brand new acrylic roofing with venting, painted white for energy efficiency, plus red-accented porch roofs, including all window dormers, complemented by 6” seamless copper gutters, spouts, and Yankee gutters Four original chimneys restored to period-correct condition Fresh, top-tier exterior paint throughout (house and carriage house) Carriage house features new roof, electric garage and barn doors The charm continues inside with Tiffany-style ceiling fans in every room, restored heating systems, and original architectural features including the house’s original hitching post, stepping stone, and slate floors in the basement and walkways. This is not just a home—it’s a story, a landmark, and a rare opportunity to own a piece of New York history. Whether you're an old-home lover, a history buff, or someone looking for a truly one-of-a-kind residence, 1874 Waverly awaits your next chapter.
