New Listing - 4856 Onondaga Road

Every once in a while I run across a house that has been readied for sale from the first moment it was purchased.  In this case, the buyers a few years ago went through the house knowing that some day they would put it back on the market.  Until then, they wanted it in great shape and wanted the pleasure of having a "perfect" home.

To that end, they replaced all the appliances and even added a disposal and dishwasher.  They moved the new washer and dryer upstairs and created a virtual ranch.  The two bedrooms on the first floor became one plus the laundry, but they can go back to two now.  The upstairs of the cape was used as an attic - great storage space!  The deck had been reached through the garage, a couple steps down from the kitchen, then out the back door and up more steps.  A new door was put in in the kitchen so access to the deck was easy.  Great deck, too - views of the hills and nearer the deep back yard.

The mechanicals were updated and maintained in perfect condition.  The basement became just a basement although it is a walkout to that fantastic yard.

I go through homes with people who want ranches and they look at me oddly when I take them to a cape and say, "You know, the upstairs can just be for storage."  I honestly cannot work it out at times, especially when they see ranches and worry over lack of storage!

If you are in the market for first floor living, want to be close but not in Syracuse, near a library (Onondaga Free Library), a hospital (Community General) and schools (Onondaga Community College) and want to be able to walk to Dunkin' Donuts and a convenience store - try this home on for size.  Only $112,900.  With taxes, insurance, interest and principal you are most likely looking at payments of under $1,000 a month. You can change the color of the walls (oh yes, they also painted the interior.)  You can control the heat and air conditioning, which they have and for which they pay very little.

I will probably have it open on the 15th - but why wait?  Call my office at 685-4788, dial my extension of 637, and make an appointment today.  ML#S322475 for more info and more photos.
