About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to this beautifully maintained Federal-style home, perfectly blending old school character with modern comfort in a lovely village location. Thoughtful renovations and updates from top to bottom enhance its classic appeal, which includes wide plank floors, exposed beams, and a formal entry foyer featuring both solid wood and French doors. The flexible floor plan offers four bedrooms and two updated baths, along with an office plus a den that could serve as a main-floor guest suite with a full bath just steps away. The upper-level primary bedroom is spacious and inviting, complete with lovely plank floors and a charming faux stone gas fireplace for added warmth. Downstairs, the formal living room showcases a natural wood accent wall with a central fireplace, built-in shelving, and more of those beautiful plank floors. Perfect for entertaining, the expansive eat-in country kitchen features endless oak cabinetry, ample counter space, a center island with breakfast bar, and a bright dining area beneath vaulted ceilings and multiple south-facing skylights. Step outside to enjoy an oversized village lot adorned with mature landscaping, a tranquil garden pond and waterfall, and a patio perfectly positioned to take in distant hilltop views and vibrant sunsets. A covered rear porch overlooks the lush yard and gardens, while open lawn space, wooded areas, and a freestanding treehouse offer endless outdoor enjoyment. Additional highlights include an attached shed ideal for storage or workshop use, attic storage, second-floor laundry, plenty of parking, and municipal services including highly desirable village electric. Located within walking distance to local shops and just a few blocks from the elementary school, this home offers the charm of village living with the convenience of an easy commute to both Ithaca and Cortland.
