About this House

Some homes are just waiting for the right person to bring them back to life... and this adorable East Side charmer is one of them!

Welcome to 229 E. 5th Street, where charm, character, and opportunity come together. Tucked into a convenient East Side neighborhood close to shopping, schools, restaurants, parks, and everyday amenities, this super cute home is ready for its next chapter.

Step inside and you'll find a comfortable layout featuring a modest-sized kitchen with an abundance of cupboards, making the most of every inch of space. The convenience continues with a first-floor bathroom, two cozy bedrooms upstairs, first-floor laundry, plus additional laundry hookups in the basement if you prefer.

Step outside and imagine all the memories waiting to be made! The generously sized, partially fenced backyard is perfect for pets, gardening, games, or simply relaxing in your own outdoor retreat. A storage shed keeps all your lawn and garden tools neatly tucked away, while the beautiful deck—accessible from two sides of the home—is just waiting for morning coffee, weekend barbecues, or evenings after work to unwind.

This home has so much heart. It just needs a new owner to give it a big hug and make it smile again. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking to build equity, someone searching for a home with character, this could be the one you've been waiting for.

Bring your your personal touch, and watch this little gem sparkle once again!

    "I’ve lived in the township of Oswego for over 25 years. Our area has the peaceful beauty of country living, yet less than 5 miles from the college. Although most of the lawns are measured in acres, all the neighbor’s mow their yards on a regular basis. In the rural area, there are no sidewalks, but that does not stop people from walking or biking. Neighbors are friendly and eager to lend a helping hand. Excellent place to raise a family."

SUNY Oswego has an excellent facility and is a good community partner. Many opportunities for volunteerism. Scriba, Oswego city, Minetto, Oswego Town - are all desirable and Scriba has the lowest taxes currently. "
