To say we’re smitten with this midcentury modern Fayetteville, NY house is an understatement.
If you’re willing to look far beyond Hudson Valley yurt houses and rustic Catskills cabin estates, the town of Fayetteville, NY is a charming escape with oodles of midcentury homes under $400. This particular Fayetteville gem listed at $399k is a perfect example—it’s a virtual time capsule of a bygone era.

“Live well on Winterton Drive, where comfort, style, and cherished memories come alive,” reads the Zillow listing for the MCM showpiece 5220 Winterton Drive in Fayetteville, New York.
“This mid-century modern gem, an oldie but a goodie, is located in one of Fayetteville’s most coveted neighborhoods within the JD school district and is within walking distance to JD High School.”
“The location offers tranquility and convenience with easy access to the nearby Wegmans, restaurants, shopping, and major highways including I-90, I-690, & I-81.”
It’s loaded with jaw-dropping features at an excellent value, too. “The large, private backyard is perfect for neighborhood games, pool parties, barbecues, & gardening. The driveway doubles as a spot for pick-up basketball games.”
The large in-ground pool is certainly a focal point. If you’re not from the area, expect to make new friends fast when you invite the neighborhood over for a pool party and BBQ.
“Inside, warmth and character abound with slate flooring, three wood-burning stone fireplaces, cherry wood built-ins and oversized windows in the living area and sun porch.”
“The spacious, multi-level floor plan provides ample room to grow,” the listing continues. And we agree. With four large bedrooms and four bathrooms, this home is ideal for large families or smaller ones who love entertaining or those who just need extra space to work from home.
“Entertain guests in the main living area that opens to the pool and stone patio, or enjoy morning coffee on the sun porch with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights.” If you’re like us, this sounds like an invitation to pack up your vintage cast iron tea pot collection and head to New York.
“Downstairs, the family room is a cozy retreat for watching TV, while the playroom is perfect for music.”
We’re really excited about all the vintage furniture, though—most of which is negotiable in the purchase price. And did we mention all the swoon-worthy vintage tile? Look at these gorgeous bathrooms with accordion shutters and 100% original light fixtures!
There’s just so much more to this 1962-built MCM home, though. At 3,673 square feet, it’s a drenched-in-natural-light paradise for anyone who appreciates midcentury design and furnishings.
It’s just a few minutes from nearby Syracuse, a city known for its excellent universities and amenities and only a couple hours from major attractions like Niagara Falls and the Canadian border.
