615 Helen St, Syracuse, NY 13203
What This House Offers
$1800 — Spacious, well-insulated, energy-efficient 2-bedroom first-floor apartment with tall ceilings and a bright bonus room ideal for a home office or additional living space, located in Sedgwick, one of Syracuse’s most established walking neighborhoods.
This lower unit has a calm, modern presence with tall ceilings and generous natural light that give the home a quietly regal feel. It’s the
kind of environment that supports your momentum — a place that feels good to live in now and sets the baseline for the level of comfort and quality you’ll expect when you eventually buy.
The front porch is a standout feature: a full additional room accessed through classic French doors, offering bright, extended living space with room for seating, a table, or a quiet reading setup. It adds meaningful square footage and gives the home a warm, welcoming entry.
The rear “primary” bedroom connects directly to a fully insulated, heated porch finished with hardwood floors. This space is large, private, and exclusive to the main bedroom — previously used as a home office — and provides a flexible, elevated extension of the living area.
Modern Kitchen & Bath
The kitchen and bathroom are a coordinated modern design that brings a fresh, updated feel to this fully modernized 1925 home. The kitchen features:
Gas stove Dishwasher
Dual deep stainless sinks
Energy Star appliances
Like-new cabinetry with extensive storage
The bathroom continues the same clean, modern aesthetic, creating a unified look throughout the home. Together, these spaces set a standard for comfort and quality that aligns with what many people hope to find when they eventually purchase a home of their own.
