PRICE REDUCED! Perched in a bright opening at the end of a long driveway sits this updated, move-in-ready farmhouse buffered from the distractions of any big city. This quaint circa 1875 home sits midway up the hillside estate, where light generously fills the rooms from the quiet southern exposure. A transitional mudroom greets you upon entering and leads directly into a large renovated kitchen, complete with ample cabinetry and modern appliances. Meals and memories are sure to be shared among the large living room and dining room that flow together around the centerpiece of a gas fireplace that creates a warm and inviting sun-lit space adjacent to the kitchen. The first floor features a bedroom with a large closet that’s currently used as the master bedroom, as well as a small laundry room and the home’s only full bath. The second floor features two additional bedrooms, a sewing room and a bonus room for supplementary space while transitioning to added storage offered by the full walk-up attic. Enjoy cookouts and cocktails on the porch just out the back door or sip morning coffee while taking advantage of the day’s first rays on the porch in the front. A large shed stands stately, just off the driveway, offering additional storage for equipment, cars, etc. The perfect location for those looking to get their fill of fresh air in day-to-day living or retreat to a second home. The solace created by this property’s ample acreage awards a great escape for recreation, hunting, ATV riding, or other activities. This mostly-wooded tract comprises a mix of hard and softwood stands to the north and the young successional growth that occupies the majority of its southern aspect. Aspen, oak, maple, ash, birch, locust and brush texture the canvas of the forested lot. The hunting on this property has been reported as quite good, with generous populations of deer and trophy-class bucks harvested with some consistency over the years. Several old logging trails wind their way through the property creating access from corner to corner and end to end. Area recreation is endless, with many state forests within close driving distance in addition to fishing and other activities within relatively close driving distance. A small pond located in the NW portion of the property could be released with a little work to create additional use and access. Located in the quaint town of Spencer are a gas station, grocery store, banks, restaurants and shops, all just minutes away with Owego and Ithaca presenting even greater opportunities at distinct amenities.
