    Private Wooded Home with Pond Views, Walkout Basement & Automatic Whole-House Generator – Russell, NY Offered at $184,900 with 3 acres, with additional acreage available for purchase (up to approximately 11 acres total), this well-maintained home is set on a quiet, wooded lot in Russell and offers a rare combination of privacy, reliability, and year-round comfort with access to fiber internet and cell service. Surrounded by mature trees with a pond just beyond, the property provides a peaceful Adirondack-style setting with no visible neighbors and frequent wildlife. The main level offers approximately 760 square feet of open-concept living space filled with natural light. The layout is efficient and comfortable, with a main-level bedroom area that flows into the living space. A second full bathroom is located in the walkout basement, where additional open sleeping or living space provides flexibility for guests, recreation, or future finishing. The basement also includes a woodstove and dedicated laundry area. A standout feature is the two-year-old propane whole-house generator with an automatic transfer switch, allowing for seamless backup power during outages without any manual setup. The home also includes multiple heating options with a woodstove, propane heat, and electric backup, providing flexibility and dependable performance in all seasons. The property is equipped with a drilled well and septic system and features a metal roof, vinyl siding, and vinyl thermal-pane windows for low-maintenance ownership.

A detached single-car garage with additional covered area provides storage and convenience. The home is being sold with appliances included, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, propane range, washer, and dryer. Recent updates include a newer hot water heater, refrigerator, and dryer. This property is well suited as a primary residence, seasonal home, or quiet retreat, offering a combination of privacy, solid infrastructure, and natural surroundings that is increasingly difficult to find.
