About This Home
Nestled on a quiet country lane, this thoughtfully designed multi-family residence provides a rare balance of privacy and convenience—just minutes to Cornell University and the natural sanctuary of Sapsucker Woods. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the easy access to birding, hiking, and tranquil wooded trails nearby.
The main home greets you with a formal entry and soaring vaulted ceilings that open into a generous great room anchored by a central fireplace—an inviting centerpiece for gatherings. An adjacent formal dining room offers a warm setting for hosting dinners and special occasions. The bright eat-in kitchen combines everyday functionality with abundant storage, while a main-level half bath just off the entry adds extra convenience. A two-car garage with an adjoining mudroom provides a seamless entry point, making it easy to bring in groceries and gear.
Upstairs, you’ll find a primary suite filled with natural light, featuring new flooring and a private ensuite full bath. Two additional bedrooms, each with updated floors and ample closet space, share a well-appointed hallway bath.
In addition to the main residence, the property includes a private secondary unit designed for both comfort and independence. With its own entrance and garage, the unit is thoughtfully tucked away from the owner’s living space. The main level highlights vaulted ceilings, a central fireplace, and an open-concept design that connects the living room, dining area, and a well-appointed kitchen with generous cabinetry. Upstairs, two large bedrooms each feature ensuite baths and deep closets, while a main-level half bath and a walk-out lower level with laundry and flex space. Ideal for tenants, extended family, or guests, this unit provides versatility without compromising privacy.
Just minutes from Cornell and Ithaca’s conveniences, this unique property offers the opportunity to enjoy a comfortable owner’s residence while offsetting costs with rental income—an exceptional blend of lifestyle, flexibility, and value.
