Set on 17.7 wooded acres just outside the village, this updated raised ranch with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths offers privacy in a natural setting. A new gravel driveway with proper drainage leads to the home, tucked quietly away among mature trees and abundant wildlife. The main level features a bright, open layout with a spacious living room, dining area with deck access, and a refreshed kitchen nearby. Recent improvements include new flooring and paint throughout the main floor, giving the home a fresh, move-in-ready feel. Down the hall are three bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level offers great potential - currently a fully finished bedroom or den, full bath, and laundry, plus two additional partially finished rooms that could easily be completed to create extra bedrooms, an office, or a home gym. Both levels are equipped with pellet stoves to efficiently offset electric heating costs, and an 11-kW on-demand Generac generator provides full-house backup power. Major systems have been thoughtfully upgraded: electric service buried underground and upgraded to 200-amp (approx. 5 years ago), and septic lines replaced during the same period. A detached two-car garage offers excellent storage for vehicles, tools, or outdoor gear. Located just a quarter-mile off Route 3 & 30, this property combines rural tranquility with convenience - only minutes from downtown Tupper Lake, the Wild Center, and miles of Adirondack trail systems. A perfect opportunity for anyone seeking a private home base with room to grow.
