38 Parker Avenue, Cortland, NY 13045

Every project you’ve put off for lack of space just found a place to happen. The oversized detached garage at this Cortland home fits two cars with room to spare, has electric already run, and a deep overhang that gives you covered space to work on a rainy day or sit out on a warm one. The house itself is a 1920 build with three bedrooms, a full and a half bath, and 1,144 square feet. A metal roof went on two years ago, which takes the biggest item on any older home off the table for decades. The kitchen and upstairs full bath have been updated, every window is vinyl replacement, and a formal living room and dining room sit off the front entry. Out back, a fenced yard with a deck and patio gives you a place to sit outside. A short drive from SUNY Cortland, this one works just as well for an owner who wants real shop space as it does for an investor adding a rental near campus. Three bedrooms, a two-year-old metal roof, and a garage that’s worth the trip on its own.
