1001 Highland Road, Cayuga Heights
Offered at $376,000
Exterior
Soon after we came to Ithaca friends took us for a ride. I remember pointing to a white house in a field on a hillside a mile above Cayuga Lake and saying “That’s where I would like to live.” It was six years before that very same house became our home. I’ve lived in it for over forty years and have always been grateful that my dream home became my real home.

– From Thoughts That Simmered in My Kitchen, Meditations by Minnie W. Muenscher, owner of 1001 Highland Road 1925-1972.

After 35 years of enjoyable living, today’s owners are ready to pass this wonderful home on to a family fortunate to be in the market for a spacious, light-filled, four bedroom, three bath home with so many updates and lovely features. This well maintained property consists of a prime one-acre site in the gorgeous, lush, convenient, and highly desirable Village of Cayuga Heights. It is hard to believe with its modern additions, renovations, and improvements that this home dates back to approximately 1903.
The highlights include an exceptional yard that is a mélange of lawn, ground cover, maples, evergreens, perennials, and herbs, providing a great view from the dining and sun rooms. The large first floor study with closets and full bath would make a convenient main level master suite, and the spacious living room includes recessed book cases. The kitchen is eat-in, open to the dining room, and includes wonderful shelving for cookbooks and treasures.
Despite its walking access to Cornell, Community Corners, and Northeast shopping and services, 1001 Highland is private and tucked into its quiet sylvan setting, shielded from 21st century hustle and bustle. This offering provides a rare opportunity to own a special home.
