About this home

~Views, location and condition come together in this wonderful mid-century, redwood-sided multi-level home, offered for the first time since it was built 64 years ago. Set well back from the road and overlooking scenic meadows and mature woods, the home captures an exceptional 10-mile easterly view with glowing sunrises and twinkling suburban Ithaca lights at night. A remarkable 300-square-foot covered deck provides exceptional outdoor living with tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings, three sides of built-in seating and direct access to the kitchen. Great for entertaining, reading or watching a storm cross the valley. Inside, the home has been exceptionally well cared for, with abundant natural light, an open living area and brick wood-burning fireplace. Hardwood floors are preserved beneath carpeting on both the main and upper levels. The formal dining room takes in the views, while the kitchen offers a convenient breakfast nook, natural wood cabinetry, Corian counters, built-in cooktop and wall oven, plus generous desk space ideal for a command center, coffee bar or recipe station. The welcoming front entry features mosaic tile and a cedar closet. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, attic storage and a tiled bathroom with double-bowl vanity, built-in dressing counter and generous mirror and drawer space. 5 steps down from the kitchen is a spacious family room suited to games, reading, TV or studio use, plus a half bath with potential to expand into a full bath using the adjacent closet. A laundry room, mudroom and garage access complete the level. The walk-out lower level offers a 24' x 29' unfinished space with ample ceiling height for future living space, recreation, workshop or storage, with direct access to a covered patio and rear yard. Set beneath a majestic oak and overlooking the meadows, the property offers room for gardens, play space or a firepit. Conveniently located approximately 2 miles from Ithaca with public water and sewer, natural gas and well water for gardening. Lovingly maintained home offering exceptional views, original character, flexible space and a setting that is increasingly hard to find. Additional 19+ adjoining acres available.
