Tucked away on 5 scenic acres in the Chittenango School District, this beautifully updated Colonial offers a rare combination of privacy, modern upgrades, and functional living space. Set far from the road & surrounded by mature trees, the property delivers a peaceful, retreat-like setting while still offering the convenience of a well-designed home for everyday living. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer creates an inviting first impression, complemented by durable ceramic tile flooring that carries throughout the main level. A light-filled flex room just off the entry provides the perfect space for a home office, den, or study. The kitchen has been thoughtfully redesigned with both style & usability in mind. Featuring quartz countertops, classic shaker cabinetry, updated appliances, & a large center island, it flows effortlessly into the main living areas—making it ideal for entertaining or casual gatherings.

Three additional bedrooms & a second full bath provide ample accommodations. The full basement includes a dedicated workshop & offers excellent potential for additional finished space. Outside, the home continues to impress with a rear patio, deck, & fully fenced yard—perfect for entertaining, pets, or simply enjoying the outdoors.
