I will start with 54 Onondaga Street between 11:00 and 1:00, then move on to 50 West Genesee between 2:00 and 4:00. Then go home and collapse! Actually not, because I love holding homes open and meeting people who are also interested in the houses.
The home on Onondaga is essentially a large cape with a mostly finished basement that adds another 600 square feet of living space. The first floor - ground level with the street - contains a bedroom, full bath, kitchen, family, living, and dining rooms. Sliders open to a deck that overlooks the back yard. It is a house intended for entertaining - two fireplaces, an extra bar sink, peninsula with stools...the overflow in the summer can spill out onto the deck.
Upstairs there are another three bedrooms and another full bath. Sweet dormers bring in light and really make the bedrooms adorable. The ML# is S299999, price is $315,000. The house is at the corner of Teasel...Onondaga branches off Genesee Street when you go east from the center. I'll have signs out to show the way!
The 2:00 to 4:00 open house is at 50 West Genesee, just a short walk from the Sherwood. It's again four bedrooms but has three full baths. Built in 1904 it's been remodeled and updated several times but retains its beautiful woodwork and Victorian character. It's a joy to show - the last time I went through a gentleman remarked that Harry Potter must live in the closet under the stairs! It captures your imagination.
Instead of a finished basement, it has a finished third story. Not a bedroom, it could be a play room, media room or someone's getaway office. These days you can can see the lake from the ornate window in the front. ML#S280791, and currently priced at $390,000.
As always, please tell me you read about these opens here....I love knowing that I am reaching people.
