Welcome to 700 Deforest Avenue--where timeless charm meets thoughtful updates in one of Rotterdam's most convenient locations. Perfectly positioned on a spacious 0.20-acre corner lot bordered by Deforest Avenue and Amsterdam Avenue, this beautifully maintained ranch offers the ease of one-level living with the added bonus of a private second-story retreat.
Inside, you'll find 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a smart, functional floor plan spanning just under 1,300 square feet. The heart of the home features convenient first-floor laundry, while the expansive second-floor primary suite creates a peaceful escape complete with a walk-in closet and private ensuite bathroom.
Downstairs, the full basement already features finished flooring, providing an excellent opportunity to expand your living space into a recreation room, home gym, workshop, or additional entertaining area.
Major updates provide peace of mind for years to come, including a 2-year-old roof, along with recently updated furnace, central air conditioning, and a Generac standby generator--allowing you to move in with confidence.
Step outside to enjoy a fully fenced backyard surrounded by mature trees, creating a private setting for entertaining, relaxing, or letting pets and family play freely. A generous deck and patio, paired with a 1.5-car attached garage, complete the exterior amenities.
Location is everything, and this home delivers. Situated less than five minutes from major shopping, restaurants, and convenient access to I-787, commuting throughout the Capital Region couldn't be easier while still enjoying the comfort of a quiet residential neighborhood.
Whether you're searching for your first home, looking to downsize without compromise, or simply seeking a move-in-ready property with meaningful updates, 700 Deforest Avenue offers comfort, convenience, and exceptional value--all in one inviting package.
