439 Van Dyke Rd, Utica, NY 13502

Don’t just drive by this one! From the street, you might think this ranch looks modest—but step inside and you’ll see it’s much larger than it appears, thanks to an impressive addition off the back. This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers a smart layout, thoughtful updates, and plenty of space, all set on a deep private lot. The living room welcomes you with gleaming hardwood floors and a classic stone fireplace, creating a warm and inviting first impression. Off the living room are two bedrooms—one with its own half bath—along with a full bathroom. The updated eat-in kitchen features plenty of cabinetry, a movable island, and a brand-new, barely used stove. Just beyond the kitchen, the addition opens up to a versatile 24' x 12' bonus space with first-floor laundry. This area flows right into the primary suite, complete with a recently renovated full bath featuring a whirlpool tub, marble tile shower, modern lighting, and a heat lamp for extra comfort. Downstairs, you’ll find even more living space, including a family room, utility area, and two bonus rooms. Double doors lead from the family room to a 24' x 14' Trex deck (added in 2022) overlooking the fenced-in backyard—perfect for entertaining or unwinding in privacy. Recent updates add peace of mind: central air with a Nest thermostat, a high-efficiency furnace (2021), a covered Trex front porch (2018), new roof on both the home and shed (with shingles fully removed), and a shed upgraded with electric, lighting, and a fan. Fresh paint throughout, new hardwood flooring, updated sidewalks, and other improvements make this home truly move-in ready. Clean, stylish, and full of character—this is the kind of home that doesn’t come on the market often!
