Property Description
Illustrating one of the most enchanting architectural styles to emerge from 19th-century America, this Carpenter Gothic home and barn—gracefully positioned at the corner of Lake Road South and Reed Road—feel as though they’ve been lifted from the pages of a storybook. Inspired by the European Gothic Revival movement, the property offers a rare chance to own not just a home, but a piece of living history in a world of cookie-cutter construction. Built in 1849 for John B. Reed, son of Sweden’s first Town Supervisor, and reflecting the influence of celebrated designer Andrew Jackson Downing, the home stands as a testament to craftsmanship and character that has endured for generations. Steeply pitched roofs, intricate woodwork, vertical siding, and ornate trim create a silhouette that is both striking and timeless. Inside, the home invites you to become part of its story. Spacious bedrooms, soaring ceilings, and a full walk-up attic offer both comfort and possibility. Two staircases—one a graceful, curving centerpiece, the other a practical secondary passage—speak to the home’s thoughtful design and historic functionality. Carefully considered updates, including replacement windows, a newer boiler, modernized electrical, fresh paint, and selective flooring and fixture enhancements, ensure that today’s conveniences complement its historic soul. Outdoors, the rhythm of life slows. Two welcoming porches and a private concrete patio tucked behind the home create intimate spaces for quiet mornings or gatherings with friends and family. Nearby, the multi-story Gothic barn—sheltered by a newer roof—stands ready for its next purpose, whether as a workshop, studio, or imaginative restoration. With a double septic system already in place, the property is uniquely suited for a return to its past life as a bed and breakfast, or for new possibilities in short-term rental ventures within the Town of Sweden. 6590 Lake Road South is more than a residence—it is a legacy entrusted to its next steward, offering the rare opportunity to preserve the past while shaping its future.
