About this home

Welcome to this well-maintained home set on 3 acres in the highly sought-after Waterloo School District. With a thoughtful layout and recent updates throughout, this property is ready for it's new owners! Inside, you’ll find 3 comfortable bedrooms with hardwood flooring under the carpet and 1 full bath. The living room offers plenty of space to relax, while the additional family room with a wood-burning fireplace gives you even more room to spread out. The remodeled kitchen, updated about 5 years ago, features newer appliances that were replaced at that time. A dining area connects the spaces nicely. Practical updates include a brand-new roof (2025), HVAC system (4 years old), and water heater (4 years old). Step outside to enjoy the 3-acre setting with plenty of room for recreation, gardening, or just soaking up the privacy. An oversized detached garage provides ample storage and space for vehicles, hobbies, or a workshop. This home combines country living with the convenience of being in the Waterloo School District and easy access to Route 3 — a rare find you won’t want to miss!

Agricultural/Single-Family Residential District

The A-2 Agricultural District of Monroe County recognizes that some of the land indicated for agricultural purposes in the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map will not be farmed because of a variety of conditions including topography, karst terrain, flooding, wetlands, vegetation, man-made facilities and barriers, including essential services and public facilities. Further, that all areas of high agricultural productivity in the County have not been designated in the Comprehensive Plan and zoned exclusively for agriculture because of existing urban development. This district is primarily for areas undergoing transition from agriculture to more intensive residential uses, to serve as a buffering district between the A-1 and the residential districts.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Agriculture
Ranch
Housing-Single unit
Housing-Multiple units
