UPDATE: BEST AND FINAL OFFERS DUE 08/31/2026 at 9 AM. As we turn towards autumn in upstate New York, one of the most anticipated events is the turning of the leaves. Thousands travel here every year to appreciate this spectacular display and to explore the natural beauty we have been blessed with. 4460 Francis Road is located in the heart of Madison County, literally surrounded by a beautiful natural landscape but still a short drive to everything to need. Located close to US Route 20, you have short drives to Cazenovia, Hamilton, the New York State Thruway, Syracuse, many parks and recreational opportunities as well as regional shopping and antiques galore. This presents the best of both worlds, privacy and proximity! So special in fact, that the current owners have remained in place since building the home in 1974. Their love of the home and land is deep. It is only the desire to be closer to family and grandchildren that pulls them away. The home exudes comfort, inside and out. Through the years they have made many improvements that enhance the appeal and functionality of the home, including a kitchen renovation, sizable two story addition and more. The first floor includes a foyer, living room with a fireplace insert, dining room, kitchen, half bath, and spacious family room. There is a bonus room in the rear that is currently used as a music room but could serve many roles. The second floor has 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, one of which is in the primary bedroom. The lower level has a 2 car garage and lots of storage space that can serve as a shop or hobby area. There is a rear deck off of the dining room that has settled but will be a highly desired spot once addressed, for relaxing, entertaining, or having dinner spring through fall. The landscape holds a nice balance of lawn and trees and with two parcels totaling over 4 acres, there is room to get out and enjoy nature! The house has electric heat and benefits significantly by being part of the Oneida-Madison Electric Co-Op. The previous 12 month average was $292.00 per month, very reasonable in this time of skyrocketing heating costs.
