Saratoga County is one of the most expensive places to live in Upstate New York -- which makes this move-in ready 2 bedroom, 1 bath home on a permanent foundation one of the most compelling values in the market. Come take a look and be surprised -- this one defies expectations at every turn. Sitting on a generous 0.51-acre corner lot in Milton with 200x107 dimensions, the fully fenced 6-foot backyard delivers privacy and room to enjoy the outdoors. A covered porch and a treated lumber deck built in 2023 extend the living space outside in a yard that is well-groomed and ready to enjoy from day one. Inside, nothing needs to be replaced. Refrigerator, oven, and range updated in 2022, dishwasher in 2024, and a stackable washer and dryer from 2021 -- move in and enjoy without the immediate expense of updating anything. At 784 sq ft the layout is efficient and functional across both bedrooms. The detached block garage is the bonus that puts this package over the top. At approximately 20x30 feet with soaring 15-foot first floor ceilings and an unfinished second floor, this is a serious structure with serious potential -- currently configured as a man cave and home office but equally capable as a multi-car garage, workshop, studio, or storage facility. The possibilities here are genuinely wide open. When rent on a cramped apartment costs more than owning this -- the math makes itself. Minutes from Ballston Spa village, Saratoga Springs, and Route 50.
