About This Home

As of July 2025

Meticulously renovated single-family home in the heart of Downtown, located just minutes from local parks, Cornell University, Ithaca College, and the Commons, in a highly desirable neighborhood within the Belle Sherman Elementary/Ithaca School District. This home blends historic charm with modern updates.

The Gothic Revival wrap-around porch, adorned with intricate bargeboard, is perfect for enjoying the neighborhood street festivals. Step inside to a move-in-ready space featuring an open-concept layout that seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining area, living room, and a flexible bonus space—perfect for a home office or additional bedroom. Each space is edged with original woodwork and reclaimed beams from the house. Off the kitchen, you'll find a combined mudroom/laundry area and a conveniently located half bath.

From the kitchen and mudroom, walk out onto the new deck overlooking the fully fenced-in large backyard, which includes a bike shed, play structure, and vibrant flower gardens. The yard is truly a rare find in Downtown Ithaca. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, an ensuite, and a guest bathroom.

Additional highlights include updated electrical and plumbing systems, spray foam insulation, a dry basement, a new kitchen, and modernized bathrooms. The property also offers off-street parking and easy access to free street parking. Attend the Open House Sunday 4/27 11am-1pm
