Feature this mid-19th-century farmhouse embraced by sixteen acres of lawn, fenced garden space, streams, and forest. The land includes a Conservation Easement which has been granted to The Finger Lakes Land Trust. The current owner, a horticulturist and conservationist, has worked round the year to establish four miles of trails for exploring, exercise, and recreation. The southwest tip of the property just about touches the Ithaca Reservoir and there is easy access to the East Ithaca and South Hill Recreationways from this delightful home.
Enter the 2006 eat-in cook’s kitchen and appreciate its quality millwork, efficient appliances, and almost 20 square feet of butcher-block island. Revel in the triple exposure view to the east, south, and west from the great room which serves as dining and family room. The living room is spacious and romantic with shutters, a wood-burning fireplace, and its own small deck. Upstairs you’ll find a large master bedroom with four closets, wonderful linen storage on the landing, a second bedroom, and adorable full bath with claw foot tub and window seat. The light and bright walk-out lower level adds approximately 400 square feet of finished living space including a third bedroom, study, and updated full bath. Newer plumbing and heating ducts, a 2008 high-efficiency replacement furnace, increased insulation, and all municipal services contribute to the cozy and carefree aspect of this graceful home. Beautiful ceramic tile and wood floors are easy to care for, yet elegant. A two-car garage, plenty of guest parking, and the ability to bike or bus to downtown, Ithaca College, and Cornell University, complete this historic treasure.
