About this home
Affordable from the start, and if you qualify for the Home Assist grant, you'll have a home with an even more of an exceptional value in the heart of Auburn's vibrant neighborhood. This property presents an ideal opportunity for savvy investors seeking strong rental potential or owner-occupants looking for affordable entry into one of the region's most culturally rich and accessible neighborhoods. You'll enjoy the 3/4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, large windows with newer windows allowing natural light to shine in, a full walkout basement to the huge fenced-in backyard, deck, & original wood details throughout. Step outside your door and you're immersed in authentic city living – downtown's thriving culinary scene, craft breweries like Prison City Pub and Shepherd's Brewing Company, the acclaimed Auburn Public Theater, and a Wegmans anchoring the downtown district are all within easy walking distance. Location defines this opportunity. Auburn sits strategically along Routes 5 & 20, providing seamless connectivity throughout the Finger Lakes region and beyond. Syracuse lies just 25 miles east via Route 690, while the New York State Thruway (I-90) is minutes away via Exit 40 or Exit 41, making commutes to Rochester, Syracuse, or anywhere along the corridor remarkably convenient. Auburn isn't just surviving – it's thriving. Known as "History's Hometown," the city has invested heavily in downtown revitalization, creating inviting public spaces, uniform streetscaping, and a flourishing arts scene with First Friday celebrations and year-round cultural events. Just 2.5 miles away, Owasco Lake offers boating, fishing, swimming, and waterfront dining at Emerson Park. The surrounding Finger Lakes wine country features over 120 wineries, scenic hiking trails, and endless outdoor recreation opportunities. Whether you're building a rental portfolio in one of New York's most affordable housing markets or securing your own residence in a neighborhood where community connection thrives, 86 Nelson Street delivers....
