Looking for a property that gives you options? This well-maintained West Genesee two-family offers the flexibility to fit a variety of needs. The spacious first-floor apartment features two bedrooms, beautifully refinished hardwood floors, an enclosed back porch, and a bonus space perfect for a home office, den, or additional flex space. The upstairs offers a comfortable one-bedroom layout with additional space that may provide potential for a second bedroom—also making it a great option for an in-law or multi-generational living arrangement. Many of the big-ticket improvements have already been completed, including a new boiler, new hot water tank, fresh interior paint, updated kitchen flooring in both apartments, refreshed countertops, and newer appliances. Outside, the property continues to deliver with a large yard, two-car garage, and plenty of off-street parking—features that add convenience and value whether you're living here or renting it out. Perfect for an investor looking to add to their portfolio, an owner-occupant who wants rental income to help offset monthly expenses, or someone looking for two separate living spaces under one roof. Updated, versatile, and full of possibilities—all in the West Genesee School District. * * Offer deadline set for Wednesday August 19th at 9:00 a. m. * *
Western Lights, located between Tipp Hill and the Near Westside, is a residential and mixed-use Syracuse neighborhood with hillside streets and a patchwork of corner storefronts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the West Genesee Street and Geddes Street corridor, where taverns, takeout counters, and small service shops line the sidewalks. Housing leans toward early-20th-century two-families and compact single-family homes with front porches and narrow lots. Nearby anchors such as Middle Ages Brewing Company, the Landmark Theatre, and the Rosamond Gifford Zoo give the area a strong local orbit. Side streets feel quieter, while the main arterials carry steady city energy. Green space and river-adjacent paths shape everyday routines without feeling removed from the street grid.
