Exterior
This 1980s Contemporary has been touched with magic – magical light, views, space, and finishes. The attention to magnificent detail is rarely found in a home at this price.
Follow the slope down a private road, listen to the birdsong, and leave the world behind. The house’s unprepossessing exterior is cedar. Once through the front door, the visitor begins to sense the excitement that awaits. The high, bright, eat-in kitchen, with Woodmode cabinets, is open to the dining room and has glass doors to the large, fabulous-for-entertaining deck. Enjoy the daytime lake views, including Ithaca Falls, or the dramatic skyline of nighttime city lights. A half-flight below is the sunroom, with slate floor and voluptuous flowering plants, a brilliant testament to the quality of year-round warmth and light. The spacious room off the dining area is now the formal living room, but could just as easily be a wonderful bedroom with closet.
Up the circular staircase is the owners’ retreat, consisting of study loft with east-facing deck, and a dusky cocoon of a bedroom with plentiful closets and a stunning bath with skylight and jetted tub.
The walk-out lower level unobtrusively houses the mechanicals, and more importantly shows off the third beautiful bath, a bedroom, and a dramatic media room with a glass door to the deep backyard. Extras too numerous to list include central air conditioning, multi-zoned hot water baseboard heat, security system, and 50-year architectural shingle roofing. Make this home your stage for a deliriously comfortable life.
