About this home

Set on 3.5 scenic acres with sweeping views of rolling hills and countryside, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse combines timeless character, modern updates, and exceptional versatility. Once part of the historic Griswold-Downey Farm, the home offers classic farmhouse charm with the space and functionality today's buyers are looking for. Inside, tall ceilings and oversized insulated windows fill the spacious rooms with natural light and highlight original hardwood floors. Wide doorways create an easy flow throughout the traditional floor plan. The renovated kitchen features granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a large pantry, and generous workspace. Updated bathrooms, a first-floor bedroom, and convenient first-floor laundry add everyday functionality. An enclosed three-season porch provides additional living space, while the private rear porch is perfectly positioned to take in the expansive rolling-hill views and changing seasons. Outside is where this property becomes truly exceptional. A huge, detached garage features electric overhead doors, electricity, a dedicated workshop, loft space, and room for up to six vehicles—ideal for a car enthusiast, contractor, hobbyist, or anyone needing serious storage and workspace. Five additional barns provide even more flexibility for equipment, storage, animals, agricultural uses, hobbies, or creative pursuits. The dry, walk-out basement offers additional workshop and storage space with original stone slab flooring, a utility sink, and updated mechanicals. Whether you're dreaming of a country retreat, homesteading, space for hobbies and vehicles, or simply room to spread out, this unique property offers possibilities well beyond the ordinary—all within convenient reach of Dryden, Ithaca, and Cortland.
