*Rare Architectural Treasure Overlooking Otsego Lake* on nearly 3 ac above Otsego Lake, this distinguished 1884 estate offers a rare opportunity to own a defining piece of Cooperstown’s heritage. Designed by NYC architects Babb, Cook & Willard for Dr. McKim, the home stands as a masterpiece of American Shingle Style. Architectural historian R. G. Wilson described it as “one of the finest examples of the Shingle Style country house... a specimen that should be treasured.” From its striking turret and graceful rooflines to the sweeping porches and lakeside views, every detail reflects an era of refined craftsmanship and understated grandeur. Spanning 6,600+ sqft, the residence welcomes guests with warm butternut paneling, oak and maple woodwork, and rooms that flow effortlessly across each sun filled level. Operating since 1999 as Bryn Brooke Manor B&B, it has welcomed baseball fans and legendary sports figures alike (Dave Concepcion, Paul Blair, Bobby Murcer, Moose Skowron, Hank Bauer, Buck Martinez, Dan Wilson, Jim Leyland, "The Boys of Summer" author Roger Kahn, and jazz composer Dave Frishberg all have stayed under this roof). Imagine the grand gatherings with Hall of Famers toasting on the porch during induction weekends. It happened here! Period lighting, bespoke built ins, and handcrafted finishes meet modern enhancements, inc. updated mechanicals, mini split systems, and new paint. Multiple fireplaces anchor the parlor, library, and dining areas, inviting elegant entertaining or peaceful retreat. The 400 sqft kitchen forms the heart of the home—beautifully proportioned for passionate cooks and casual gatherings, w access to porches on 2 sides, seamless indoor outdoor living. 8 beds, 8 baths provide comfort at every level. A private caretaker’s suite has its own entrance. Westridge Rd places you moments from Cooperstown’s attractions— Fenimore Art Museum, Farmers’ Museum, Otsego Lake, Otesaga Hotel & Golf, and Baseball Hall of Fame—while offering a tranquil perch above it all. Cherished as a private estate or distinguished B&B, *6 Westridge Road* stands as a timeless blend of history, artistry, and gracious living—one of Cooperstown’s true landmarks.
