Property Description
Set on nearly three private acres above the emerald waters of Otsego Lake, this distinguished 1884 estate offers a rare opportunity to own a defining piece of Cooperstown's architectural heritage. Designed by noted New York City architects Babb, Cook & Willard for Dr. Robert McKim, the home stands as a masterpiece of the American Shingle Style.
Architectural historian Richard G. Wilson once described it as ''one of the finest examples of the Shingle Style country house... a specimen that should be treasured.'' Its design siblings include the Charles Atwater House of New Haven and the William Low House by McKim, Mead & White, placing it firmly among the icons of late 19th century design.
From its striking turret and graceful rooflines to the sweeping porches and lakeside views framed by the Otesaga Hotel and Leatherstocking Golf Course, every detail reflects an era of refined craftsmanship and understated grandeur.
Spanning more than 6,600 square feet, the residence welcomes guests with warm butternut paneling, oak and maple woodwork, and rooms that flow effortlessly across four sun filled levels. Operating since 1999 as Bryn Brooke Manor Bed & Breakfast, 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) --each one adding a new story to the home's illustrious heritage. Imagine the grand gatherings with Hall of Famers toasting on the porch during induction weekends. It happened here!
Inside, period lighting, bespoke built ins, and handcrafted finishes meet modern enhancements, including updated mechanicals, central mini split systems, and new painting throughout. Multiple fireplaces anchor the parlor, library, and dining areas, inviting elegant entertaining or peaceful retreat.
The 400 square foot kitchen forms the heart of the home--beautifully proportioned for both passionate cooks and casual gatherings, with access to porches on two sides for seamless indoor outdoor living. Eight spacious bedrooms, six full baths, and two half baths provide comfort at every level, complemented by a private caretaker's suite with its own entrance, bedroom, and full bath.
Westridge Road places you moments from Cooperstown's celebrated attractions--the Fenimore Art Museum, Farmers' Museum, Otsego Lake, the Otesaga Hotel, and the Baseball Hall of Fame--while offering a tranquil perch above it all.
Whether cherished as a private estate or continued as a distinguished bed and breakfast, **6 Westridge Road** stands as a timeless blend of history, artistry, and gracious living--one of Cooperstown's true landmarks.
