Discover the ideal blend of rural tranquility and easy access to amenities in this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home located just steps from Dryden Lake Park. With 1,288 sq ft of living space, this home sits on a generous lot offering seasonal lake views, a spacious yard with a firepit, and nearby blueberry patches often visited by local wildlife.
Inside, you'll find beautiful hardwood floors, freshly painted rooms, and comfortably sized bedrooms that provide flexibility for everyday living. Recent updates include a new electric hot water heater, an upgraded primary bath with a new shower and flooring, and a refreshed main bath with a new vanity and floor.
The clean, dry basement features a working fireplace and has been freshly painted. It's currently used as a gym and game room and is already wired and framed—offering potential for future expansion. A detached two-car garage sits conveniently beside the home, and new perimeter drains have been added for improved drainage and peace of mind.
Just minutes from downtown Dryden, this home offers a quiet setting with convenient access to parks, shopping, and dining. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy all that the area has to offer.
