About This Home

A rare opportunity to own a secluded 3.2 acre estate within the City of Ithaca - walking distance to Cornell, one block from the Belle Sherman Elementary School, and minutes from both Ithaca College and the Ithaca Commons. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this park-like property offers woods, natural cascades, and remarkable privacy. The 3000 sq.ft. residence, on all municipal services, was built in the early 1900s, and offers both late-Victorian and Craftsman details. A two-story addition was completed in the 1980s, adding a modern kitchen, a Great Room with tall windows and vaulted ceilings, a lofted bedroom, and a second floor primary suite. At the time of the addition, the heating systems were updated, and the interior walls were insulated, re-wired and sheetrocked - all created a surprisingly tight, efficient, and comfortable historic home. This property has been held for generations by each of its owners and has long served as a gathering place for community leaders, scholars, and creatives. Features include a two-story foyer with grand staircase, formal dining, Great Room with wet bar and wood-burning fireplace, red oak floors, and stained glass. Off the Great Room is an expansive deck with custom seating, set among the tall trees. Behind the house is a level lawn ideal for sport and entertainment. Find the pathway that will lead you through the woods and along the gorge; enjoy the sound of the water and the beauty of two waterfalls. The two-story barn, proud and true, is now wonderful storage but offers excellent potential as a studio, workshop, or creative space. The setting is exceptional; hidden away but not isolated. You're part of the Belle Sherman neighborhood, but in a private refuge. There is no other property like it in the City of Ithaca!
