    Your opportunity to build fast equity in a stunning newer home! This mostly complete beautiful, contemporary Cape Cod is perfectly positioned on 7.53 peaceful, private, picturesque acres—just five minutes from Cortland and I-81, offering convenient access to both Binghamton and Syracuse. Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully designed layout filled with high-end features. Striking 10-foot ceilings, oversized windows, and a dramatic 19-foot vaulted ceiling in the living room (with space for an optional fireplace) create a bright, open atmosphere. Choose your primary suite on either the first or second floor, both offering comfort and flexibility. The gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an open-concept design ideal for entertaining. Flooring includes a rich mix of ceramic tile, solid oak hardwood, and high-quality hickory engineered wood throughout. In addition to the 2114 square feet of open, airy living space, the home also includes a separate 350-square-foot bonus room above the garage —perfect for a home office, studio, gym, or entertainment center. This room could be connected to the upstairs primary suite’s private balcony for even more versatility. This 350 additional square feet (with heat and electric already in place) creates a final finished square footage of 2464. Other highlights include a full unfinished basement with a furnace and water heater installed in 2017, California closets, and a luxurious soaking tub. Outside, enjoy the ornamental pond, a utility building with electric, and a 500-gallon underground propane tank. The “tiny home” currently on the property will be removed before closing, or could be purchased for an additional $85,000. Inquire if interested. This is a rare and unique opportunity to complete your dream home with the finishes of your choice. Ask your agent for details on the house history (work completed). Cash or construction loan (incl. FHA 203K) best finance options; sold “as is” with the right to complete inspections. Aerial video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6VWjazGpvw
