About this home

Prime commercial opportunity just off Route 13, Ithaca’s primary commercial corridor! Formerly home to the Ithaca Breast Cancer Alliance, this Victorian property offers incredible potential for the right buyer seeking character, visibility, and flexible commercial use. Originally a 5-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence, the property was thoughtfully renovated and converted into professional office space, blending historic charm with functional updates. Beautiful original details remain, including rich woodwork, oak floors, stained glass, and French doors. Located in the WEDZ with flexible zoning and multiple permitted uses, the possibilities are extensive—professional office, daycare, restaurant, wellness center, boutique business, and more. The spacious layout includes a full basement, multiple rooms on the first floor, a full kitchen, 1 full and 1 half bath, five additional rooms upstairs, and a full walk-up attic. Outside, the professionally designed grounds feature raised beds, stone paths, patio space, pergola, and a converted garage offering additional workspace. Additional highlights include central air and an elevator. While the property benefits from substantial prior renovations and excellent infrastructure, it has experienced deferred maintenance and will require repairs, updates, and TLC. Offered strictly as-is, this is an outstanding value-add opportunity for investors, business owners, or entrepreneurs ready to restore this unique property to its full potential. Exceptional location, high visibility, and endless possibilities—bring your vision. Buyer to verify zoning, intended use, and any applicable municipal requirements. Currently zoned commercial - residential use would require a change of use permit, please call the city for details. Located in the AE floor zone, a 100-year floodplain.
