9716 McKinstry Rd, Machias, NY 14101

This 1,344 sq ft ranch in the hamlet of Machias sits on a fenced lot just minutes from Lime Lake, and the big-ticket items are already done. It has a metal roof, an updated furnace, a Navien Energy Star tankless water heater for on-demand hot water, and updated electrical with a 150-amp Eaton panel, AFCI/GFCI-protected circuits and a whole-home surge protector. The mechanicals also come with a warranty for added peace of mind. Enter through the knotty-pine mudroom with first-floor laundry into a spacious country kitchen with plenty of cabinet and counter space. A pass-through opens to the bright, window-lined family room. The living room features built-in display shelving, and the full bath has been updated with a new tub and shower, a newer vanity and a tall linen cabinet. Along with two bedrooms and a large walk-in closet with its own window, the home offers two flex rooms. One has built-in cabinetry and the other has its own exterior entrance. Use them as a home office, hobby room, guest space or den. Outside, the extra-deep one-car garage has room for a workshop, plus a covered side porch you can enclose or leave open for summer. A covered patio off the back of the house overlooks a large grassy backyard. With low property taxes and the major updates already behind you, owning this home could cost less each month than renting, and you’d be building equity instead of paying someone else’s mortgage.
