Welcome to a beautifully renewed two-story home on a rare double corner lot with a year-round river view — the perfect blend of modern comfort, thoughtful upgrades, and unbeatable convenience. Located just steps from downtown amenities, shopping, the hospital, and only a short ride to Fort Drum, this home offers the lifestyle you want with the peace of mind you need. Over the years, this property has been meticulously updated from the inside out. The interior was fully gutted and rebuilt with new plumbing, insulation, sheetrock, and a new water line to the main. Major mechanicals have been consistently improved, including a 90% high-efficiency natural gas furnace (2006), new windows, insulation board, and siding (2016), a durable metal roof (2017), and a new sewer line to the main (2022). In 2024, the home received an upgraded 200-amp electrical service and a new water heater, ensuring long-term reliability. Inside, the main level was beautifully remodeled in 2021 with new hardwood flooring, granite countertops, new appliances, and a fully updated bathroom featuring a new tub, vanity, and toilet. A charming mudroom adds everyday convenience and extra storage. Upstairs, all bedrooms were freshly repainted and fitted with new carpet in 2025, creating a clean, move-in-ready feel throughout. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced yard, a storage shed, and a large paved driveway (2020) offering plenty of off-street parking — a rare find this close to downtown. The double lot provides extra space, privacy, and natural light, while the river across the street adds a peaceful backdrop to everyday living. All the big-ticket items are done — just move in and enjoy a home that’s been cared for, improved, and thoughtfully modernized over time.
