Property Description

Last of the Wickwire Mansions Available to the Public. This extraordinary estate is a true work of art, built and designed by the brilliant artist Jerry Wickwire himself. Once home to Jerry's personal studio-now transformed into a second-floor studio apartment with lofty ceilings and skylights and sweeping views of the house and grounds-this property carries a rich history and timeless charm. Nestled on a private one-acre (+) lot, the estate features two fountains, lush gardens, stone patios, and a grand terrace with the original gazebo where pivotal political and economic conversations once helped shape both the City and the State. Surrounded entirely by a stately stone fence, the property offers exceptional privacy-all the while being conveniently located within the City and just steps from SUNY Cortland and half hour or just more from Cornell Campus, Ithaca College, TC3 along with Binghamton University and Syracuse University. The Mansion itself is versatile and spacious, offering 6 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, and 5 wood-burning fireplaces two with Black Marbel and two with White Marbel. Its possibilities are limitless: a private residence, an Airbnb or vacation rental, a venue for fundraisers and events, or a one-of-a-kind retreat. Cortland's central location places you close to world-renowned universities, natural wonders like the Finger Lakes, Niagara Falls, valleys, and the Adirondack Mountains, and major metropolitan centers such as Boston, New York City, and Montreal. A rare opportunity to own a piece of American history-this is truly a one-of-a-kind Wickwire Mansion.
