If your idea of the perfect morning includes coffee on the porch instead of traffic outside your window, 4281 Drew Road is about to make a strong case for itself. Set on just over 16 private acres, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home gives you room to spread out, breathe a little deeper, and enjoy life at a different pace. Step inside and you'll find an inviting layout with vaulted ceilings, oversized windows that pull the outdoors in, a beautiful custom fireplace that naturally becomes the heart of the home, and a kitchen built for everything from weeknight dinners to holiday gatherings. The spacious primary suite offers its own private bath, while the finished lower level adds even more flexibility with space for guests, hobbies, a home gym, game room, or whatever fits your lifestyle. Outside is where this property really tells its story. Wander your own wooded acreage, watch the wildlife pass through, build a bonfire under a sky full of stars, or simply enjoy the kind of peace that's getting harder to find. Whether you're dreaming of a hobby farm, recreational property, or just a place where your closest neighbor is the sound of the wind through the trees, this one delivers. Located just minutes from Watkins Glen, Seneca Lake, wineries, hiking trails, and everything the Finger Lakes has to offer, this isn't just buying a house. It's buying the kind of place people escape to on weekends. .. except you'll get to call it home every day. Sq. ftg based off public record
