Set back from the road above Watkins Glen State Park, this home sits on a bright and welcoming private retreat surrounded by abundant flowers and trees, large flat playing areas, and a lovely pond for watching wildlife. The kitchen is central to life here: partially open to the dining room and walking out to the deck and patio in the back of the house, it has a surprising amount of counter space and is perfect for entertaining. The wood burning fireplace in the cozy living room is the seller’s custom artwork made with local stones from Lodi Point, worn smooth from the lake water. A door to the front porch extends the living space to the fantastic outdoors. Two bedrooms and one and half baths are on the main floor. Down the steps to the expansive foyer, to the left is a large third bedroom/studio with a door to the back patio. Also off the foyer is a 2 car garage, workshop, and a storage shed. Down another half flight of steps from the foyer, the basement has a huge workshop and a separate laundry room. This compact house has ample open spaces inside and out for a comfortable living.

Settled into a hill with gorgeous distant views over the valley, this cozy home is built for 1-floor living: a main floor primary suite (with separate bathtub and shower) and laundry, and a one step entry. The bright living room has vaulted ceilings with skylight. The kitchen has plenty of storage and countertop space. Upstairs is a large loft with a spacious closet and plenty of room for an office or library nook. The open layout with high ceilings make this home airy and cozy at the same time. The living continues outdoors with a rear deck looking out to a great backyard with apple trees and grapes, many mature trees for shade, and well established flower beds. The rear lawn area near the neighbor's pond boasts pristine dark skies, perfect for star gazing. The generous two car garage behind the house has enough room for 2 cars plus workshop space. A new roof was just installed in April 2026 and extensive drainage work was completed last summer. This outdoor paradise is ready for you to enjoy.
