2013 Pleasant Avenue was designed with flexibility in mind. This Sylvan Beach property was taken to the studs and rebuilt with new vinyl siding over fresh sheathing, Tyvek HomeWrap, new windows, new exterior doors, new roof decking and sheathing, a new 150-amp main panel, full PEX plumbing with new drain/waste/vent, a high-end Utica combi boiler with multiple heating zones, mini-splits for supplemental heat and air conditioning, and Rockwool insulation between floors for sound and thermal performance.
The first floor is a ground-up renovation — modern kitchen with farmhouse sink, quartz counters, and two-tone cabinetry, a tiled Schluter Kerdi shower, and refreshed bedroom. All first-floor appliances are brand new: range, dishwasher, refrigerator, and washer/dryer. Upstairs is a fully independent studio with its own entrance, full kitchen with gas stove, full bath, in-unit washer/electric dryer, and a dedicated 100-amp sub-panel. It has been rented continuously for 12+ months — a documented income track record.
Flexibility is wired into the design. The layout was specifically designed to be used as a rental or a single family home by opening up a single wall. The new 150-amp main feeds the property, with a dedicated 100-amp sub-panel for the studio. Two laundry hookups. Multiple exterior entrances. The rear flex room received three new exterior doors, two new windows, and new roof decking — and was intentionally left for the next owner. They decide whether it becomes storage, a three-season room, an office or bonus room, or a path to a third income unit.
Location is the other half of the story. Sylvan Beach is a classic lakeside resort community on Oneida Lake — sandy public beach, boating, a summer boardwalk scene, and walkable access to the waterfront. The Oneida Indian Nation has invested heavily in the area (The Lake House, The Cove), and a major wastewater modernization project is underway. The market supports both seasonal short-term rate strength and a stable longer-term rental floor.
A lakeside getaway. A documented income asset. A rebuild, top to bottom.
