About This Home

As of July 2026

Located in the hamlet of Brooktondale, this inviting 4 bedroom, 2 bath home offers the perfect blend of convenience and a peaceful, natural setting. Just minutes to the Ithaca Commons and Cornell University, and even closer to Shindagin Hollow State Forest, Brookton’s Market, and local trails and swimming holes, the location makes everyday living easy while keeping you connected to nature. Warm, light filled interiors offer comfortable, flexible living space with a main living area and dining space overlooking the backyard. The lower level is a standout feature, offering a large living room with a gas stove and bar area, creating the perfect place to relax, entertain, or gather. The fourth bedroom and second full bath on this level provide an ideal setup for guests, extended family, or added privacy. Step outside to a recently improved deck overlooking a truly special backyard. The level yard is surrounded by acres of woods with an active stream running nearby, creating a peaceful and private setting that is hard to find. Whether you are entertaining, enjoying quiet mornings, or spending time outdoors, this space feels like your own natural retreat. Additional updates include a mini split system for efficient heating and cooling and fresh paint, giving the home a clean, move in ready feel. A storage shed adds everyday practicality. A pre listing inspection has already been completed, providing buyers with added confidence and transparency.
