29 Miller Ave., Chautauqua, NY 14722 listing details

The Fernwood is a turn of the century cottage with a great location right off Bestor plaza. The home is well maintained with wrapped porches and is currently set up as three apartments - a one bedroom on the first floor and two bedroom apartments on the second and third floors. lovingly updated by the present owner it can be used in a variety of ways-single family with room for multi-generations with separate private space, owner living space along with rental potential or 3 separate rental units. Rental history is excellent. Rental income for two units in 2011 was $29,400 and $34, 900 in 2012. In the words of the owners: "We have enjoyed the location of this house at the very hub for more than a century of history. Ideal for active Chautauquans, it is only a stone's throw from Bestor Plaza, so that one can walk to the Library, the Amphitheater, the Colonnade, the Post Office, the Bookstore in one to three minutes, while most other popular sites-the beach, the movie, Norton Hall, the Hall of Philosophy--take only two to five minutes longer. Yet we rarely found the bustle of Miller Avenue to be less than pleasant. The charm and graciousness of this old house with its porches, stained glass windows and tall stand of ferns have beguiled us year after year. Its interior arches and dining room have especially made it feel like a real home, enabling entertaining, both planned and spontaneous. Some ambience must be the reason that--very frequently--we have noticed visiting strangers snapping pictures of Fernwood. It is a place to remember."
