About this home

Few homes balance old and new like this classic 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Dutch Colonial located in the heart of sought-after Meadowbrook and Scottholm Estates. The neighborhood has tree-lined streets, a true sense of community, and the perfect balance of convenience and quiet, residential living. The house has been lovingly maintained for over a century, preserving original details like natural woodwork, a beautiful stained glass window, and charming built-in cabinets. It has also been updated with an expansive first-floor mudroom, laundry center, and a spa-like, renovated bathroom. Over $120,000 has been invested since 2020, including new mechanicals (furnace, central A/C, hot water heater), a new garage roof, updated electric, fresh interior and exterior paint, a gut-renovated bathroom, and a new paver patio with landscaping. Enter through a welcoming foyer into a large living room that flows into a sun-filled porch. The dining room, with its beautiful wainscoting and two built-in corner cabinets, opens to a kitchen with cherry cupboards, and new appliances. Beyond the dining room, a spacious family room with a striking spiral staircase leads to a full suite with a 4th bedroom or office and full bath. Just beyond, tucked behind newly installed pocket doors, is a mudroom with its own back entrance. A rare find for this era! Upstairs are three large bedrooms, including a primary, spacious enough for a seating area or office. Original doors and a built-in linen closet showcase the home's woodwork, still beautiful after a century. The full bath was remodeled to the studs, with a large walk-in shower, teak wood vanity, brass fixtures, and beautiful white tile. A full third-level attic offers tons of clean, dry storage. Outside, the backyard feels like a private retreat surrounded by trees. A beautiful new two-level paver patio offers plenty of room for seating, perfect for relaxing or entertaining outdoors. Ideally located just minutes from Syracuse University, hospitals, and businesses.
