About This Home

Experience the ultimate lakeside lifestyle on Owasco Lake! Situated on a generous lot with 105 feet of frontage, this home offers a front-row seat to the water and spectacular 4th of July fireworks. The heart of the home is its open floor plan, designed for seamless entertaining and spacious everyday living. Step inside to find a welcoming interior where a pellet stove adds a cozy touch for those chilly evenings. Outdoor living is paramount here. Composite decks on both the front and back provide the perfect spots for relaxing and soaking in the views without the maintenance. Upstairs, private balconies offer vantage points to enjoy the surroundings. The home features three comfortable bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with a convenient first-floor laundry and a split mini air conditioner to keep you cool. A major highlight is the attached garage with a large bonus room above—ideal for a bunk room, hobby space, or home office, supported by available high-speed internet. Uniquely, this property includes a 1/3 acre lot on the non-lake side, offering great space for recreation or boat storage. You will also appreciate the convenience of public water, public sewer, and natural gas. Furnishings are negotiable, making this a truly turnkey opportunity to start your lake life immediately.
