About This Home
Tucked in the heart of Cortland, this home offers small-town charm where neighbors become friends and every street feels like home. Located just steps away from the famous Sam's Diner, 26 W Pine Ave is ready for you to move right in. Custom oak stairs and banister guides you upstairs to the main level, where the living room features a large picture window that fills the space with natural light. Adjacent to the living room, the spacious eat-in kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, granite counters, plenty of counter space, and slider doors that lead out to a deck overlooking the fully fenced yard. Down the hall, you'll find three bedrooms and a full bathroom to complete the main level. Head to the lower level and you're welcomed by an open family room with a cozy brick fireplace. A full bath sits across from the master bedroom, which includes a walk-in closet. At the end of the hallway is a convenient mud/laundry room with slop sink, folding counter, and abundant extra storage, plus a walkout to the backyard. The two-car detached garage has room for your cars and tools, and the driveway has been extended with a gravel pad. There is also a shed for extra storage and outdoor equipment. Professionally landscaped, this property is just minutes from Routes 88, 38, and 47, and less than a mile from the splash park to cool off on hot summer days. No HOAs or SSAs here! This home is more than just an address - it's a place where new memories are waiting to be made.
