63 Hunt Hill Road

There is no need to run away from home when you can live life as a vacation in this exciting contemporary nestled in the Ellis Hollow hills. Located minutes to Cornell University, Ithaca College, downtown Ithaca, shopping, restaurants, and recreation, one cannot believe a home can be this private and bucolic, yet be so accessible to the necessities. The gorgeous 6.6-acre site satisfies all the senses with a delightful combination of lawn, perennials, pond, stream, and enough tall woods to shelter and provide woodstove fuel forever.

The house is a wonder, with soaring ceilings and unending windows that enclose an extraordinary living space with quality finishes of ceramic tile, slate, and hardwood floors. Ascend the custom staircase gliding your hand along the handrail made of cherry wood milled from the site. You are now in a large, private, master suite with study, deck, walk-in closet, and bath. Back down to the main level, which has a lovely flow and includes a family room with built-ins (that could be a first floor master bedroom), a two-bedroom wing with laundry and bath, and a cherry cook’s kitchen that opens to a generously sized dining room. Also on the main level, the living room, although spacious, couldn’t feel cozier with a brick fireplace surround and light hardwood floors that reflect the wonderful light flooding in the sliding glass doors from a second deck. A few steps down from the living room is a glass-enclosed sunroom with woodstove. Plants and people will thrive in this space through the four seasons. The third deck, accessed from the dining room, extends entertaining space out to a pond, lawn, and the stream that is the pristine headwaters of Cascadilla Creek.

More exciting features are outside this special home. An attached, oversized three-car garage includes automatic door openers and a storage attic accessible on grade. There are two open sheds and a third enclosed building that lends itself to being transformed into a darling playhouse or efficient garden shed. To absorb the impact of the myriad wonders of this property – it must be seen to be believed.
