G. Wilson described it “one of the finest examples of the Shingle Style country house... a specimen that should be treasured.” Set on nearly three acres overlooking the glittering waters of Otsego Lake, this exceptional Cooperstown compound offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. Built in 1884 by Dr. Robert McKim and designed by renowned New York City architects Babb, Cook & Willard, the residence stands as a distinguished example of American Shingle Style architecture. As architectural historian Richard G. Wilson once observed, “The McKim house is one of the best examples I have seen of the Shingle Style country house. It is beautiful. It should be treasured.” Similar designs can be seen in the Charles Atwater House(New Haven, CT, 1890) and the William Low House (1887), designed by McKim, Mead& White. Today, the property’s stunning position frames panoramic views of Otsego Lake, the iconic Otesaga Hotel (1909), and the Leatherstocking Golf Course. Distinctive architectural features include a two-story turret, a broad lake-facing porch, a summer sleeping porch, and a screened/storm-windowed porch. Hallmarks of the Shingle Style—such as the continuous cedar shingle exterior, sweeping rooflines, and banded window groupings—enhance the home’s timeless appeal. Spanning more than 6,600 square feet (approx. 615 sq m), the home has long served as a destination for guests from around the world. (Pictured is Yankee outfielder Bobby Murcer in the kitchen with the owner and her brother) Operating since 1999 as Bryn Brooke Manor Bed & Breakfast, it has welcomed baseball fans and legendary sports figures alike (Hall of Famers like Carlton Fisk, Bob Feller, Lou Brock, Bill Mazeroski all have stayed under this roof) —each one adding a new story to the home’s illustrious heritage. Inside, over 70 windows fill the interiors with natural light, highlighting rich finishes of oak, maple, and butternut wood. Every space has been thoughtfully updated with designer-led enhancements, including period lighting, custom wallpapers, bespoke cabinetry, and artisanal woodwork.Elegant fireplaces with beaded moldings anchor the main living areas, while flexible gathering spots—such as the turret library, front porch, and three-season room—invite relaxation and entertaining in every season. At the heart of the home lies a showstopping,400-square-foot kitchen designed for lively gatherings and culinary creativity.“Enjoy being in the kitchen, especially with the people you love—it truly is the heart of the home,” says the owner. With direct access to multiple porches and a nearby half bath, this space perfectly blends charm and function. The property offers eight spacious bedrooms, four full baths, and two half baths, along with a private caretaker’s suite on the ground floor featuring a separate entrance, bedroom, study, and full bath. All bathrooms have been updated with premium materials and period-appropriate finishes, ensuring both style and comfort. Recent upgrades include new furnaces, efficient mini-split systems on the main and second floors, a complete electrical overhaul, freshly painted exterior, and a paved driveway. Ideally located on Westridge Road, the home sits within walking distance to the Fenimore Art Museum, The Farmers’ Museum, Otsego Lake,and the Otesaga Hotel. The historic village of Cooperstown—with its boutiques,cafés, and the National Baseball Hall of Fame—lies just beyond.
