Privately set ranch home with expansive living spaces near Dryden Lake area in Tompkins County. Many new updates include roof (2019) and siding within 5 years. Living room with Southern exposure open to kitchen with newer appliances and lots of cabinets/counter space. Appealing sunroom with walls of windows on East and South sides, heated by wood stove. Original bedroom wing has 3 bedroom with hardwood floors and an updated full bath with walk-in shower and built-in cabinets. An addition in 1974 added a 2nd kitchen, 2nd living room, 2 more bedrooms and a 2nd full bath. Also a hidden back deck off 2nd living room. Full basement with tons of workshop/storage space and a 1+ car garage. Tax records list a 6th bedroom in the basement, which does have a walk-out door - possibly a future home office space? There's cosmetic updates needed here but tons of room to grow into and possibly use for income (Buyers need to verify with Town). Best bonus: geothermal heating/cooling for main house! Separate electrical meters already in place. The private yard has mature trees, a sunny garden area and a paved driveway with turnaround. Bring your design ideas to make this yours!
