Recently added 2 car attached garage with an enclosed breezeway that offers additional space for your boots and other storage. The basement has a poured concrete floor and workshop area with designated root cellar storage racks and canned goods shelves that are built-in. This is not your ordinary 1800s style basement; it offers a true walk-out door and additional usable space. If more storage space is needed, there is attic storage above the garage and the main house.
The property includes several established raised garden beds, heated enclosed chicken coop, and additional storage under the deck. Some plantings include a mulberry tree, apple trees and raspberry brambles along with some established herb gardens. There is a man-made pond that is 12 ft. deep with a dock and approximately 100 ft. across that is stocked with largemouth bass and grass carp. There is a walking trail that leads from the backyard to the Owasco Inlet which touches the back side of the property. There are several acres that have grown up into brush that could be reclaimed and utilized for pasturing livestock.
The property has maple trees at the sound end that the current owners have tapped in the past for maple syrup production. There is an invisible pet fence installed around the perimeter of the yard to keep your pets safe.
The current owner had energy efficiency in mind when remodeling and there was more than adequate insulation installed with R-50 in the attic space and 6 inches in the walls with extruded polystyrene board for a well-sealed home. There is a 4.5 Kilowatt solar system that is tied in to the grid. The average monthly electric bill is less than $20! Central heating is provided by a fuel oil forced air furnace and a hi efficiency wood stove that is centrally located in the home to offset the heat bill. The wood stove mantle surround was constructed with stones gathered from the property. LOW monthly utilities. Great location and an easy drive to Ithaca and Cortland area.
Attractively priced at $279,900.
