105 Hillcrest Dr Ithaca, NY 14850

What began as a 19th-century barn has been reimagined into a distinctive 1,548-square-foot Craftsman-inspired home, while preserving the character of its agricultural origins. Carefully preserved post-and-beam framing recalls the building's original purpose, creating definition and character within an open floor plan. The original north-side screened porch was incorporated into the living space, expanding the living and dining areas with abundant natural light. Throughout the home, the original windows have been replaced with high-quality Pella and Anderson windows. To take advantage of the property's elevated setting, sliding French door system opens to an expansive east-facing composite deck, opening the main living area to broad views of Cayuga Lake, East Hill and Cornell University. Hardie® cedar-shake siding, stone-based tapered columns, and entry porticos reflect Craftsman-inspired design while complementing the home's historic character. The interior includes three bedrooms and two updated full baths, including a flexible main-level bedroom suitable for guests, a home office, or den. The renovated kitchen features quartz countertops and opens to the living and dining areas, where the original timber framing creates a series of connected spaces rather than one expansive room. A mudroom with laundry is located just inside the main entrance, and storage is well integrated throughout the home, including a walk-in closet in the primary bedroom. Fully insulated and updated for modern living, the home is served by a natural gas furnace and central air conditioning. A walk-out partially finished basement provides additional flexible space for recreation, hobbies, or a workshop, with an adjacent potting shed and garden room. Professionally landscaped grounds frame the approach to the home and complete the setting. Check out the virtual tour, sqft based on virtual tour measurements.
