Welcome to 902 McKinley Ave in Rome, NY, a well-maintained ranch-style home that delivers something increasingly rare in today's market. Real value without compromise. This three-bedroom, two-bath home offers a clean, functional layout with hardwood and laminate flooring, bright natural light, and spaces that feel comfortable and practical from the moment you walk in. The living room features a large picture window and warm finishes that make it easy to imagine everyday living, relaxing evenings, and hosting friends. The kitchen is thoughtfully laid out with ample cabinetry, generous counter space, and a dedicated dining area that opens directly to the backyard. Sliding glass doors lead to a brand-new rear deck and patio completed in 2025, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that adds real lifestyle value. Whether it's summer grilling or quiet mornings with coffee, this space works. Downstairs, the partially finished basement is where this home separates itself from others in its price range. There is substantial storage, flexible rec space, and a roughed-in bathroom that is already framed and plumbed, giving the next owner a clear path to additional finished square footage, a guest suite, or a home office setup without starting from scratch. From a mechanical and infrastructure standpoint, the heavy lifting has already been done. The home features a new roof installed in 2024, new gutter guard leaf filters added in 2025, and a new sewer line from the road completed in 2022. These are upgrades that matter, reduce risk, and protect long-term value. Outside, the fenced backyard offers space to entertain, relax, or customize further, with a shed for additional storage. The attached one-car garage and blacktop driveway add convenience and everyday functionality. Located close to parks and the Mohawk River walking trail, this home also benefits from easy access to outdoor recreation, neighborhood amenities, and commuter routes. Whether you are buying your first home or adding a solid property to your portfolio, 902 McKinley Ave checks the boxes that actually matter. Delayed showings 2/7/26 at 12:30PM.
