Not visible from the road, on 2.75 peaceful, private acres, this impeccably maintained 3 bedroom 2.5 bath home is an oasis. The layout from living to dining to kitchen is open and the sliding glass doors from the dining area lead to the decks overlooking the private, newly fenced backyard and woods. Thoughtful updates have elevated the home to a new level—it shines from top to bottom. New hardwood floors have been installed in two bedrooms; the entire home has been freshly painted; significant new insulation installed, all new drywall plus insulation in the garage, new light fixtures and outlets throughout, new flooring and toilet in the half bath - must see list of improvements! The primary has a full ensuite bathroom; downstairs is an open room that expands the living space and has its own entrance leading to the backyard. As you relax on the two-tiered deck system calm and peace settle into your bones. This is a great place to relax, rejuvenate, enjoy. Spacious 2-car garage, Yellow Barn State Forest is just up the road, 10 minutes to Ithaca, 10 minutes to Dryden, with low Town of Dryden taxes.
