3299 Swamp College Road

Open house on Sunday, May 17th from noon - 2 p.m. Known as Nine Pines, 3299 Swamp College Road is a wonderful early home in a magical setting on one of the sweetest stretches of road in Tompkins County. This property has been the home of the Sola family since 1965. The oldest part of this Greek Revival farmhouse dates to the first decades of the 1800s, and the original character still remains in its rose-colored stencils, wide-plank floors, & original hearth. Though the home needs extensive updating, visitors will be touched by the master suite with it's private balcony, the secluded 3 acres with its large pond, ducks, & herons, and the perennial gardens that encircle the home. Daphne was an artist, a papermaker & a printmaker. Decades ago, she & her husband moved sections of a former chicken coop from Lansing to Jacksonville, creating a 20' x 40' detached studio for her various pursuits. The studio has water, electric heat from ceiling panels & tall, uninterrupted space. There's also a modern 2 car detached garage & two quaint outbuildings. The family made some recent & important repairs & upgrades; a 30-year shingle roof was just applied, extensive masonry repair was performed on the chimneys, & the exterior of the house was professionally painted. Invoices for recent repairs & inspections available for review. Ask your Realtor for the recent structural inspection report.
