About This Home

As of June 2025

This beautifully updated farmhouse combines timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades, all set on 8.7 picturesque acres with a serene creek gracefully lining the edge of the property. Inside, the fully renovated interior offers three spacious bedrooms and two tastefully updated full baths. At the heart of the home is a stunning custom hickory kitchen, complete with granite countertops, a tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a sunny bay window, and island seating—perfect for both daily living and entertaining. The warm and welcoming living room features a new Jotul wood stove, framed in custom brickwork and accented by a handcrafted live-edge cedar mantle. The adjacent formal dining room is filled with natural light from a bright wall of windows and is anchored by a cozy new pellet stove, making it an ideal space for gathering year-round. Beautifully refinished hardwood floors bring warmth and authenticity, while new Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring in key areas adds durability and modern appeal. Additional enhancements include updated baseboard heating, fresh paint throughout, Hunter ceiling fans, and stylish lighting fixtures that blend form and function. A newly installed metal roof on both the house and garage ensures long-term peace of mind, as does the 18KW whole-house Generac generator. Outside, nearly an acre has been fenced with a 3-strand Hotcote electric fence, complete with a Stallion energizer, 40-year posts, and a spring gate—ideal for horses or other livestock. A small stable is already in place, making this property well-suited for equestrian or hobby farm pursuits. Enjoy mornings on the covered front porch or unwind on the screened-in back porch overlooking your private acreage. With a perfect blend of rustic elegance and modern comfort, this move-in-ready home invites you to enjoy the best of country living while only being 25 minutes to Cornell University. Open House Saturday 4/26 11:00 - 12:30
