    Gorgeous two-family house for sale by owner. This home rests in a peaceful country setting on 2 acres with great view down the valley.  It is located just over the border in Choconut, Pennsylvania (15 minutes to Vestal).  The house is set up as a duplex with one side around 1,600 square feet and the other side around 700 sq ft.  There is a full basement with a one car garage.  Live in one half and rent out the other side to cover a big part of your mortgage!

    The larger side of the house is a large 3 bedroom. The first floor has a huge living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room and 1/2 bath. The second floor has a master bedroom/bath and two more bedrooms, and an additional full bathroom.  It half was re-modeled about 7 years ago for the current owner and includes all tiled bathrooms and new heating system with propane heaters and electric back up.  A brand new roof was put on last summer.

    Living Room

    The kitchen and adjoining dining room are open and airy with lots of natural light coming through sliding glass doors on front of house. There is a beautiful view down into the valley from the front windows and an enclosed three-season front porch.

    The large flagstone patio out back is surrounded by trees and is perfect for fires at night and hanging out during the day. It's very peaceful and private and sits on 2 acres.

    The house and property are unique for this area. It is a duplex with the potential for rental income to help cover the mortgage or a mother-in-law apartment. We have rented out both halves of the house at various times - the larger side for $1,300 and the smaller half for $550.

    Also, the back part of the property has utilities largely in place and is ideal for a pole barn or small house or trailer. There is a dirt driveway up to a level lot that already has a well, septic and power.

    This is a perfect location for a family who wants a quiet, peaceful country setting with the convenience of being close to town. It's just 10 minutes to Vestal and Endicott, 20 minutes to Binghamton, and 30 min to Owego.  The house is about 1/2 mile up a well-maintained, dead-end dirt road.  There are only two houses past ours. The property is almost totally surrounded by a great neighbor who owns a 200+ acre farm. 

    The house has a Friendsville, PA mailing address. Low property/school taxes of around $2,800/yr

    The asking price for the house is $165K.
