Sweet and spacious, this center-split design offers 3 levels of living space on an oversized 1.7 acre lot. If Ithaca has 'Far Above Cayuga's Waters" then Dryden has "High Above Virgil Creek" and this home enjoys the sights and sounds above the rushing waters leading to Dryden Lake! Solid and well-maintained throughout, evident from the moment you enter via the front steps into the private front entry with slate flooring. A large living room is highlighted by brick fireplace and accesses the enclosed 3-season back porch via a sliding door. Formal dining room centers the home, with stairs leading up or down, with level access to eat-in kitchen. There's also a door to access the back porch off kitchen too. Upstairs there are 4 nice-sized bedrooms, 2 with hardwood floors. A primary suite with views of the side and back yard and pocket door to full bath. Primary bath has a nice size and is ready for your updates. Renovated laundry room and 2nd full bath also on the upper level. This updated bath has all new: quartz vanity, low-entry shower, luxury vinyl flooring, lighting, plumbing fixtures. The laundry room also acts as a nice mudroom with outside stairs to backyard fun, including an in-ground pool. Downstairs there's a family room heated by gas fireplace. There's also the 2-car garage plus mechanical workshop room and storage room on the lower level. Outside spaces are expansive with pear and apple trees, a detached storage shed and firepit area. ADU possibilities? Buyers can verify subdivision options with the Town of Dryden! Enjoy the allure of nearby Virgil Creek, meandering below the property with great seasonal vistas. There's ample garden spaces here too! Down the street is Dryden Lake, a popular fishing or kayaking site with no motorized boats for the nature lovers and bird watchers delight! Also located close to the Jim Schug Dryden Lake Trail which takes you all the way into Dryden Village. This home shows pride of ownership with low maintenance vinyl siding and replacement windows. Bring your modern touches to make it your new Dryden home!
