About This Home

Affordable living in the heart of downtown Ithaca! This character-filled home was completely renovated by INHS in 2003, starting from the foundation up, so you get the warmth of an older home with the peace of mind of modern updates, like central A/C! Step inside to hardwood floors flowing through the living and dining areas. A first-floor bedroom and full bath offer flexible living, perfect for guests or single-level convenience. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms plus a bonus office or nursery space. The dry basement with a concrete floor adds valuable storage and utility space. Outside, unwind on the wide porch or entertain on the deck, with steps leading down to a shaded backyard. With offstreet parking - up to 3 cars - this Southside home is just a few blocks to the library and The Commons, Wegmans and shopping, and lots of restaurants. Leave the car in the driveway and walk to everything downtown has to offer. A rare combination of affordability, character, and walkability — schedule your showing today.
