About This Home
A rare opportunity in Ithaca’s beloved Forest Home neighborhood
Welcome to Forest Home Lodge, an iconic 1910 residence filled with history, character, and modern comfort. Set in one of Ithaca’s recognized historic districts and just minutes from Cornell University, this stately home offers the perfect blend of timeless charm, everyday convenience, and room for everyone.
With 6 spacious bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a flexible third floor apartment with its own kitchen and bath, there is space for family, guests, work from home needs, or potential rental income. Original details, including a beautiful chestnut staircase, gracious formal rooms, a welcoming front porch, and a cozy gas fireplace, give the home warmth and personality throughout.
Outside, the fully fenced lot feels like a private retreat, surrounded by mature greenery, flower and vegetable gardens, and a screened in porch overlooking Fall Creek. It is the kind of setting where kids can play, gardens can grow, and family memories can be made.
The home has also been thoughtfully updated for modern living, featuring double ovens, natural stone countertops, abundant cabinetry, three solar arrays, a hybrid water heater, and energy efficient heat pumps in every bedroom for year round comfort and lower utility costs.
Located near Cornell, Beebe Lake, and the Cornell Botanic Gardens, this home offers walkable convenience in a truly special setting with no land lease.
The property also includes a two story carriage house studio apartment, a heated garage, a recently paved driveway, and additional parking in front of the home.
Historic charm. Flexible living. Sustainable updates. A peaceful setting close to everything.
Forest Home Lodge is ready to welcome its next chapter.
