A rare setting meets a rare opportunity! Tucked at the end of a quiet dead-end street, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath raised ranch sits on a private, tree-canopied lot that backs directly to state land and the Rockaway River ? a backyard that simply can't be found any closer to town. Deer, birdsong, and river views come standard. The layout is smart, functional, and traditional to a raised-ranch floor plan with three bedrooms, a full bath, a county kitchen, and a dining area that walks right out to a large deck overlooking the woods. Hardwood floors are preserved underneath the carpeting throughout ? ready to be uncovered and refinished. Downstairs, the 1-car garage level offers great bones for a future family room, home office, or workshop. Natural gas is available at the street, opening the door to gas heat, cooking, and more. Solid structure, good flow, and a footprint ready to be reimagined. A little vision will go a long way, and this home is a blank canvas to make completely your own! In this market, properties with this much potential are rare to find, and this one has it all: Great bones, traditional layout, hardwood floors, gas availability, backs to state land, private location and this close to nature. Bring your contractor, your design ideas, and your imagination!
