DESCRIPTION
A home in paradise! This unbelievable Dover Road property consists of a three-bedroom home on twenty-eight acres of virgin woodland called Paradise Valley. Conveniently located only fifteen minutes from Utica and Rome, and only one short hour from Old Forge in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, this secluded property is perfect for nature lovers, while very accessible to schools, medical facilities, shopping and fine dining. Cross-country ski, and snowshoe right outside your door, or downhill ski only 30 minutes away. Hiking, hiking, swimming, boating, kayaking and tubing as well as one of Central New York State's top rated trophy trout streams are all only five minutes away.

And a river runs through it! The valley contains a pristine stream that meanders year round, through the valley floor and culminates at a historic dam, (just outside the house), the site of a former gristmill. Here, the water tumbles over two picturesque waterfalls: One at the foot of your wrap-around deck, and the other, visible just a stone's throw away where you can watch from a screen house, as the falls thunder into a natural dipping pool.

This unique home is nestled among the trees and oriented to the creek and waterfalls, boasting cinematic views from each and every room. The quarry-tiled foyer is graced with a high ceiling, a chandelier and track lighting. The bright and spacious sitting room accommodates dining, with plenty of room to relax, read, or socialize by the warmth of the pellet stove. Sliding patio doors open onto an expansive upper deck, from which to watch the deer and wood ducks or to dine al fresco. From the upper deck, a stairway descends to the lower deck and access to the potting shed and spacious garage and driveway.

Greet the sun each day as it rises over Paradise Valley providing an exquisite view of the waterfalls from the oversized master bedroom/studio suite windows. Twin sliding patio doors open onto the balcony that borders the master bedroom/studio suite. The charming master bath contains a shower/tub combination and two basins.

A wooden beamed ceiling, Southern yellow pine floors and a limestone fireplace with a heatilator warm the great room. Sliding patio doors open to the deck, down to a bridge and over the creek to a large green space beyond; encircled closely by wild flowers, Joe-pye and giant ferns...and by towering white pines in the distance.

Inside, the great room flows into a delightful new Craftmade kitchen with a center island, pendant lighting, and Southern yellow pine floors. Appliances include a KitchenAid refrigerator, Whirlpool electric stove with self-cleaning oven, built-in microwave and Maytag dishwasher, Insinkerator garbage disposal, and Fridgidaire stackable washer/dryer. Laundry-pantry area and shower bath complete the service-suite.

A romantic spiral staircase ascends to the second floor and two bedrooms with a half bath; each with opening skylights and cathedral ceilings. A sliding patio door opens from the creek-side bedroom onto a balcony overlooking the creek, the dam and the stunning grounds below.

Just off the historic old road which ambles along the creek lies "creek-point-camp"; a cute and cozy 8 x 8' tree house on a 12' platform, overlooking a bend in the babbling creek. Here, kids of any age can picnic or play, paint or meditate, read, write, nap or camp overnight.
