989 State Highway 51, Gilbertsville, NY 13776

























Gilbertsville has long been on my short list of places I would love to move to. The town, much like Hoboken where we currently live is a mile square and the entire town is on the Historic Register. It's a GORGEOUS town with lots of culture and very little crime. It is to my mind, the perfect suburb.
