Property Description

Welcome to 3497 Route 242 in Machias, a well-cared-for 2-bedroom ranch situated on 1.2 acres in the Pioneer School District. Whether you're looking for your first home, thinking about downsizing or simply looking for an affordable place to call your own, this property offers a great opportunity to own rather than rent. With a beautiful yard, blacktop driveway and convenient location just off Route 16, there's plenty to appreciate about this home. Inside, you'll find a comfortable, functional layout with a spacious eat-in kitchen, two nicely sized bedrooms and a home that has been cared for over the years. While some cosmetic updates would bring a more modern feel, the home is ready to enjoy as it sits, with the opportunity to make improvements at your own pace. One of the biggest advantages is the full walkout basement, which offers tremendous potential for additional living space. Already equipped with hot water baseboard heat and partially framed, this area provides an excellent starting point for a future family room, home office, hobby space or other uses, allowing the home to live considerably larger than its current square footage. The basement also features a convenient garage under the home, providing additional storage and functionality. Outside, the expansive 1.2-acre lot offers plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, while the vinyl-sided exterior adds to the home's practicality. Located less than half a mile from Route 16, you'll appreciate the convenience of being less than 5 minutes from Lime Lake, less than 10 minutes from Franklinville and approximately 15 minutes from both Arcade and Ellicottville, putting shopping, dining, skiing and outdoor recreation within easy reach. A solid, manageable home with a beautiful yard, room to grow and a location that makes getting around easy. Why keep renting when you could make 3497 Route 242 your own? All offers, if any, to be reviewed Wednesday 10/14 at noon.
