A rare and distinguished offering, 60 Sullivan Street is an architecturally significant circa-1860 Greek Revival–influenced Colonial, ideally situated on one of Cazenovia’s most desirable and historic streets. Formerly known as the President’s House of Cazenovia College, this remarkable residence offers nearly 4,800 square feet of living space, combining grand proportions, timeless architectural character, and an exceptional opportunity for its next owner to make a truly special home their own.
The stately façade reflects the elegance of the mid-19th century, with a symmetrical front elevation and classic columned entry portico setting the tone for the period details found throughout. Inside, the home offers 7 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms, along with hardwood floors and a distinctive, functional layout designed for both gracious everyday living and memorable entertaining.
A generously sized kitchen is complemented by two additional working pantries, complete with sinks, warming ovens, and extensive storage—an exceptional setup for hosting gatherings large or small. The walk-out lower level features a functional wine cellar and half bath, with convenient access to the expansive backyard. Upper levels provide remarkable storage as well, including a large walk-in cedar closet in the attic.
Set on an impressive 1.8-acre lot, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and Village convenience, with the shops, restaurants, schools, and amenities of Cazenovia just a short stroll away. A detached two-stall garage with electric doors adds everyday convenience.
Rich with original character, refined architectural details, and a remarkable history, this home is ready to welcome its next steward. While comfortable and livable as it is, 60 Sullivan Street presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to bring their own vision, personal touches, updates, and enhancements to this extraordinary historic residence. Offered as-is, this is a rare chance to own and personalize one of Cazenovia’s truly distinctive homes.
