THE COMPLETE PACKAGE. Own a beautiful modern home AND a spectacular commercial venue built around a unique 1926 railroad car that formerly traveled the local railroad tracks that run along the nearby Susquehanna River (not in a flood zone). This incredible property features options for an entrepreneur who wants to capitalize on the thriving tourism industry of Cooperstown and Oneonta - be it through events, short-term rental, or opening a restaurant.
The house has been set up to be used as a short-term rental but it would also make a very nice home for the restaurant owner or business manager. The commercial venue was formerly a successful restaurant called Falco's Junction, now dubbed Brickyard Junction. It features a very large and updated two-tiered commercial kitchen and would be an ideal location for a restaurant and venue.
THE RESTAURANT & EVENT CENTER: This passenger train car was converted into part of the larger dining area and flows seamlessly into the building. The full building features a designated bar area, a large commercial kitchen on the lower level (with a prep area and a food/dish lift), and two public restrooms. The dining area is accessible from a large parking lot with expansion parking to the right of the building for those big baseball parties or weddings.
The seller, a successful restaurateur, believes that with easy access to busy route 7 and a short drive to Cooperstown and Oneonta, this restaurant would be a perfect seasonal take-out restaurant with options to reserve the dining room and bar area for special events.
THE HOUSE: With 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms situated on three levels of livable space this home has plenty of room to spread out. The walk-out basement has its own kitchen and dining area that could be used as a big game room or converted into a small 1st-floor apartment. It has a bathroom, bedroom, and laundry area as well as two clean utility rooms.
Upstairs the open floor plan is pleasing to the eye with a big deck off the kitchen side and a large open living room adjacent. The kitchen has been nicely finished with molded Formica countertops, a large middle island, and oak cabinets. The flooring throughout the house is a combination of tile and carpet. The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom with a 2nd door creating options for general access as well.
The top floor features three very good-sized bedrooms, a remodeled bathroom, and plenty of closets for storage. There is also a walkout deck off the largest of the three rooms with beautiful views of the surrounding hillsides and the Susquehanna River.
Both buildings are well maintained, pleasing to the eye, and have everything needed to start a successful business. Brickyard Junction is ready to become the next fixture in Greater Oneonta. Call to schedule your private tour.
