Classic early 20th-century home located in the heart of Syracuse’s beloved Westcott neighborhood—just steps from Syracuse University and the vibrant energy of Westcott Street. This four-bedroom charmer offers generous space, solid bones, and original details, including hardwood floors (ready for a refresh), all brimming with potential.
The main-level open floor plan features abundant natural light and generously sized rooms, including a welcoming living room with a bay window, a spacious dining area, and a kitchen ready for modern updates. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are also located on this level.
Upstairs, you’ll find two additional spacious bedrooms and another full bathroom. Glass doors off the kitchen open onto a full deck—perfect for entertaining or relaxing outdoors.
While the home could benefit from some TLC, it presents an ideal opportunity for investors seeking strong income potential or hands-on DIY enthusiasts eager to infuse their personal style into a historic property full of character.
Enjoy the neighborhood’s bohemian vibe, with its eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, and easy access to Syracuse University and downtown Syracuse.
