About This Home

As of April 2025

To local historians, this property is known as the Mitchell Farmhouse. In 1802 James Mitchell left his home in NJ to inspect a property he had inherited near Montreal. Along the way, he admired the Village of Ithaca. He promptly sold his inheritance & returned to Ithaca, purchasing a 600-acre revolutionary parcel now known as the Belle Sherman neighborhood. Historical surveys suggest that the bulk of the house was built between 1810 & 1820, w/the addition of a formal entry around 1840. 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, wood-burning fp and gas fp in the upstairs master suite. Main level suite is lovely, tasteful & adapted for those with mobility concerns. 2 balconies with distant views to southeast. Belle Sherman Elementary is through the garden gate & walking distance to CU & East Hill Plaza. Roof was replaced in 2018. Since 2020,new boiler, hot water heater, replacement windows, some appliances, exterior & interior paint. A gem.
