Welcome to York Street Country House — A Timeless 1929 Classic in Seneca Heights
Nestled at the foot of a lush, forest-covered mountain on one of Olean's most picturesque streets, this stunning historical home offers the perfect blend of classic charm and modern comfort. Set in the highly sought-after Seneca Heights neighborhood, this spacious 2,934 sq. ft. residence features 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully restored with over $75,000 in recent upgrades. Step inside to find everything you'd hope for in a classical country home — gleaming hardwood floors, two wood-burning fireplaces, original doors and hardware, beautiful built-ins, and elegant antique French doors leading to the formal dining room. The sun-drenched sunroom showcases brand-new Italian travertine flooring, while the kitchen delights with its retained 1950s vintage character, accented by new marmoleum checkerboard flooring and fresh countertops — plus all-new appliances, including washer/dryer, dishwasher, and gas stove. The main floor bathroom was fully renovated in 2025 and features a new soaking tub, an antique vanity with a marble top, and Currey & Company sconces. Additional updates include fresh paint throughout, updated plumbing, new carpet in the stairwell and the upper guest bedroom, recently updated windows with custom plantation shutters, a new backyard fence with a dog door, updated wiring, a newer hot water tank and furnace, and a roof that is just 9 years old. The two-car garage includes an electric door opener.
