Some people spend years searching for the right balance between space, privacy, and room to actually put down roots. This one checks all three. Set on .73 acres with a fully fenced, flat backyard ready for a garden, chickens, or whatever your version of the good life looks like, this 5-bedroom farmhouse has been quietly and systematically upgraded from the inside out. New roof, updated electrical, added insulation, new water softener, new hot water heater, new dishwasher and stove. Inside, hardwood floors carry you through the main living areas into a living room anchored by a wood-burning stove that makes January feel less like a problem and more like an excuse to stay home. The four-season family room addition off the back of the house adds serious square footage, 2,584 total, and functions as a true everyday living space, not an afterthought. Two-car attached garage. Marcellus schools. Quick access to Route 20 without sacrificing the rural feel that drew you out here in the first place. At $299,900, this is a property that would cost significantly more to replicate from scratch with the updates already done. Schedule your showing before someone else does the math first.
Welcome to a BEAUTIFULLY renovated Cape Cod that blends the timeless charm of its 1948 origin with a fresh, modern aesthetic and light-filled, welcoming spaces throughout. The back of the home faces east, filling the fully fenced yard with soft sunrise light — an inviting setting for morning coffee, relaxed weekends, summer cookouts, or snowy-day gatherings. In the evenings, the enclosed front porch becomes a favorite place to unwind and enjoy colorful sunset skies. The first floor features LVT flooring that flows room to room for a clean, cohesive look. The kitchen is stylish and efficiently designed, with granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and contemporary finishes, and it opens to the adjoining dining and living areas — creating an open-concept feel that lives larger than a traditional Cape Cod while still preserving its warmth and character. Two bedrooms are located on this floor and offer excellent versatility for bedroom use, office space, creative work, or guest accommodations; the rear bedroom features an impressive wall of built-in shelving. The first-floor full bath includes a tub and updated finishes. The second floor offers a wonderful blend of character and modern comfort. Both bedrooms include two closets each and generous storage; in the first bedroom, one closet was thoughtfully used by the sellers as a small playroom, complete with a colorful mural. At the end of the hall, the spacious primary bedroom features built-in cabinetry, shelving, and a bright bonus area ideal for reading or work-from-home space. The spa-like full bath features grey tile, a shower with pebble-stone flooring, a double-sink vanity, and a calm, refreshed atmosphere. The basement is exceptionally neat, with painted floors and walls, a laundry area, and two comfortable flex rooms well-suited for hobbies, projects, or casual recreation space. A detached two-car garage offers excellent storage and workshop potential. Recent perennial and spring plantings will bring the grounds to life for the next owner. Open Sunday 2 to 4 pm.
