The five highest-priced home sales reported in Syracuse Area, New York for the week ending November 1, 2026, totaled $5.965 million. Four of the homes are in Onondaga County and one is across the line in Madison County, and all five are single-family homes.
The group spans nearly two centuries of building. Two of the homes date to the 1830s and stand in village centers, one is a lakeside ranch from the middle of the last century, and two were built in this century on larger suburban lots.
No. 1 — $1,850,000 · 34 State St, Skaneateles, New York
For many years the home at 34 State Street in Skaneateles was the residence and studio of John D. Barrow, a painter of the Hudson River School. Known as the Barrow Estate, the Colonial was built in 1832 and stands on a corner lot of 0.57 acres, steps from the village’s restaurants, shops and lakefront. It sold for $1,850,000. The property last sold for $525,000 in 2015.
The home was built with nogging construction, an uncommon 19th-century technique, and later renovations brought it up to date while keeping its period character. It has 17 rooms and 4,780 square feet, with five bedrooms and five bathrooms, four of them full and one a half bath.
On the main level, a formal dining room sits between two living rooms, and each living room has a fireplace. The eat-in kitchen has custom cabinets that rise to the ceiling, a marble tile backsplash and a walk-in pantry, along with one of the home’s two wet bars. A guest suite has its own full bath and a private porch. Upstairs, two more suites each have a sitting area and a private bath, and the primary wing has a spa-style bath, three walk-in closets, a hidden closet and a second laundry room.
The landscaped grounds have bluestone walkways and a large bluestone patio, and the backyard is fenced in cedar. Covered porches add outdoor living space, and there is a hot tub.
Michael DeRosa and Kelli Ide of Michael DeRosa Exchange were the listing agents, and Catherine Armijo of Howard Hanna Real Estate represented the buyer. The sale tied for the highest price of the week.

No. 2 — $1,850,000 · 1836 W Lake Rd, Skaneateles, New York
The other $1,850,000 sale in Skaneateles is a seasonal lake camp at 1836 West Lake Road, set among mature trees on 1.13 acres with 91 feet of level shoreline on Skaneateles Lake. A private dock reaches the water, and the home has views of the sunrise over the lake.
Built in 1961, the ranch-style home is the smallest of the five, with 1,182 square feet. It has three bedrooms, all on the main level, and two bathrooms, one full and one half, along with a fireplace and an enclosed porch. A separate bunkhouse gives guests a place of their own. The Mandana Inn and a marina are a short walk away, Anyela’s Vineyards is two minutes off, and the Village of Skaneateles is a short drive. The property is in the Skaneateles School District.
The home went under contract seven days after it was listed and sold at its full asking price. Gerald Morrissey and Marisa Montreal-Wright of Finger Lakes Sothebys Intl. were the listing agents, and Morrissey also represented the buyer, so the same agent was on both sides of the sale.

A family room opens off the renovated kitchen, which has quartz counters and a 48-inch Wolf range with a pot filler.
