OPEN SUNDAY - May 24th - 12:00 to 2:00
MLS#S331711 - $142,500
When I take photos, I try to find the one picture that encompasses the essence of the home. (My - doesn't that sound a little, well, you know.....) But at the brokers open which was so very well-attended the agents picked out the built-in china cabinet. You can see why - everything neatly arranged, the pieces chosen for their color and beauty. Lovely!
The seller and I had a few meetings at the table in front. She served me gorgeous ripe strawberries and brie with English Breakfast tea. From the table you can see the front living room and out to the street. The in-ground pool in the back yard was behind me, the lower windows covered with plantation shutters.
For a house not quite 1700sf it packs a lot of rooms and that great word "potential." The kitchen is done in maple and granite with newer appliances. Many of the rooms have hardwoods, and there is plenty of storage. On the first floor is the full bath and official bedroom, plus another room used currently as both a den and office. Going out to the back you pass a walk-in pantry, then exit through a sun porch (not included in the square footage).
Upstairs are three more bedrooms, two of which are large with angled ceilings. The rear one overlooks the pool and also has its own built-ins. The one in the front needs a bit of work, but is even larger. A third bedroom is smaller, and the seller remembers when she bought the house the owners saying there might be plumbing for an upstairs bathroom. She never checked - but when you buy it, you can!
The basement is full and has a laundry area, another full bath, and the remains of what used to be a second kitchen a while back. A big room is finished (at least tiled) and would make a great poker room or media room or get away for kids or adults.
And this is Westvale, a ways back from Genesee Street, too. Westvale means similar homes built in the 1950s, a great neighborhood and community, and Westhill Schools. Cherry Road Elementary is just a few blocks away. Remember walking to school? Easy access to Syracuse or 690 to get you anywhere in half an hour, plus Wegmans can be reached in five minutes, Panera Bread in 6, and I bet Target in 8 minutes. All of course at the revitalized Fairmount Fair.
We had friends who lived in Westvale, and we always heard about Halloween and the woman who positioned herself in a tree and threw down candy. Then there were the luminaria at Christmas, lining the streets.
So please come and say hello! I will be there from noon until 2:00 on Sunday with something to celebrate Memorial Day. Just go past Fairmount Fair on Genesee Street to Manchester on the right, and then four blocks to Clover. If the frost doesn't get them there will be pansies in the flower boxes and a warm welcome from me!
