About the property

Spacious 1930s 3-Bed Home on 0.55-Acre Lot with Detached Garage

Set on a level, half-acre parcel with 209 feet of frontage on Route 362, 5771 New York Highway 362 is a practical, well-maintained 1930 wood-frame home that delivers classic rural living within easy reach of Wiscoy Creek and Letchworth State Park. The house presents three bedrooms and a full bath across approximately 1,074 finished square feet, with a partial basement and a sizable detached garage (circa 480 sq ft) that’s ideal for a workshop, cars, or storage.

Stepping inside, the home reflects average condition for its age — systems and finishes that have been maintained but also present an opportunity for updates and personalization. An electric hot-air heating system and an asphalt shingle roof are in place; utilities are private water and sewer. The partial basement and attic space provide practical storage and project room for buyers who want to modernize while preserving the home’s straightforward farmhouse character.

Outdoors, the 0.55-acre lot gives you room for gardening, a play area, or future additions (confirm setbacks with the Town of Wethersfield). The detached garage with estimated two-car capacity opens up lifestyle possibilities for hobbyists, contractors, or anyone needing secure equipment storage. The lot’s level topography and long frontage provide good sightlines and easy driveway access off Route 362.

Location is a defining asset: Wiscoy Creek for fishing sits only a half mile away and the dramatic trails and canyon overlooks of Letchworth State Park are roughly seven miles from your door—great for weekend hiking, picnics, and seasonal recreation. The Letchworth Central School District serves the area; the high school scores above average locally. With low annual property taxes ($2,360 in 2025) and a valuation midpoint near $142,500 based on recent nearby sales, this property is positioned as an affordable rural home with upside for thoughtful renovation.

Buyers should note key due diligence items: private water and sewer systems require inspection, and systems such as roofing and heating should be professionally verified. Given the tight local inventory and historically fast sales in Bliss, well-priced homes here move quickly—this one is a solid option for buyers seeking a quiet, outdoors-oriented lifestyle with potential to add value.

Editorial market perspective

Bliss and surrounding rural pockets of Wyoming County are presently tilted toward sellers: inventory sits low at roughly 1.5 months and average days on market for single-family homes is about 14 days. Median sale price in the immediate area is around $160,000; one-year appreciation is modestly positive at approximately 5%, with a five-year gain near 15%. Comparable single-family sales within seven miles over the past six months ranged from roughly $135,000 to $175,000; this property’s estimated value midpoint of $142,500 aligns with those comps and the local market structure. For buyers, the tight inventory means competition and a need for readiness—pre-approval and decisive offers improve chances of success. For sellers, low supply and steady buyer interest make now a compelling time to list, especially for properties priced competitively. Rural single-family homes here tend to attract local buyers seeking land, garage/workshop space, and proximity to outdoor recreation; properties that present well and have clear utility condition reports move fastest.
