ARIETTA, NY - Ann Yuhas, a real estate agent, has lived in her home on 2321 Olanco Road for the past 20 years. She returned to Central New York from Colorado in 2004, drawn back by the region's natural beauty and outdoor recreational opportunities. The property, situated near Otisco Lake, was once a summer camp built in 1959 as a one-room cabin with a fireplace. Rev. A. Allison Child, a Methodist minister, used it as his home before John Anson purchased it.
Anson improved the property by adding a bathroom and bedroom, installing wood beams, and building a post-and-beam addition on the south side. Yuhas inherited a history of the property from Anson, who described its unique character, including giant oaks and a creek running through the ravine. From her 400-foot deck, Yuhas can see the water and enjoy a hot tub year-round.
The home has undergone significant renovations, with Yuhas adding a gas fireplace, new windows, and a cherry kitchen with vaulted ceilings and recessed lighting. The primary bedroom is on the main floor, featuring a triple closet, while two additional bedrooms are located upstairs. The bathroom was remodeled to include a pedestal sink, new tile floors, and a frameless shower door.
Yuhas runs her real estate business from a home office in the walk-out basement, which she shares with her partner of 17 years, Mike Cahill. He built a detached two-story garage with an insulated space that can be used as an art studio or workshop. The property is surrounded by tall oak trees and flowers, creating a tranquil atmosphere reminiscent of the Adirondacks.
Yuhas has enjoyed the property's natural beauty for many years, watching her daylilies bloom in the summer and the leaves change colors in autumn. She cross-country skis with her dogs during the winter months and enjoys walking around the neighborhood, chatting with friendly neighbors along the way. The home is listed at $499,000, with a monthly mortgage of $2,595 based on a 30-year fixed-rate loan.

* Address: 2321 Olanco Road, Marietta, NY 13110
* Price: $499,000
* Size: 1,634 square feet
