THE SOLOMON MEAD HOUSE:
One of the important historic homes in Tioga County has been restored to its original elegance, offering superb historic detail while providing the comfort of 21st century living. This classic ten-acre Federal brick country estate (c1844) is positioned on a knoll above Spencer Road (Route 96) and faces Catatonk Creek. The ground floor has twelve foot-ceilings, formal entry hall, six-foot high double-insulated windows, polished cherry floors, and spacious rooms. It features a country kitchen with all cabinetry hand-made from cherry trees on the estate, granite countertops, and new stainless steel appliances, along with a huge formal dining room and a brick-lined study/living room. Upstairs are three large bedrooms with wide plank floors and a mission-style bathroom with all new fixtures. The top floor is waiting to be finished and also features wide plank floors, water and electric service. The house is fully modernized with a three-zone oil/wood heating system, copper plumbing, and updated electric. The property also includes a cupola-crowned, Dutch-style carriage barn with hand-hewn 18 support beams. The acreage is a mixture of pasture, meadow, and woodlands.
