About This Home

As of August 2012

Lovely setting with perennials on 1.35 acres looking out to the woods and a stream, very private yet so close to Ithaca. You can walk to the bus to Cornell or ride your bike, less than 2 miles to the Vet school. Beautiful open floor plan, full of light with 4 Bedroom, 4 and 1/2 baths, and a room to be finished in the lower level (already ducted for heat) for possible 5th bedroom or family room. New cherry floors and many other updates; which includes a great slate patio and walkway, new gutters and plumbing upgrades. Lovely setting and bird watching from your kitchen window!
