First time on the market since 1971 this beautiful and well-maintained 1850s farmhouse is set on nearly an acre on the edge of the Belle Sherman neighborhood. The updated modern kitchen, accessible main level bedroom suite, a garage fully equipped as a workshop and a barn with solar panels wired to the house and lots of storage are just the beginning of the tour. Imagine yourself on the sweet wraparound porch, or coming home to the warm hardwood floors, into a foyer and living room with high ceilings and detailed mantle over the fireplace. Five spacious bedrooms, all freshly painted. This cook's kitchen was renovated in 2023 with custom cabinets, granite counters with an eat-at peninsula, and large picture windows overlooking the yard (allowance for buyer to acquire their choice of appliances). Sunny breakfast room - or office - plus a half bath. Main level primary suite with step-in shower and laundry. Upstairs there are four big bedrooms with generous closets and a hall bath smartly laid out with separate rooms for bathing and toilet. Three bay garage has been a sophisticated workshop with electricity and heat. Close to Cornell or Ithaca College, downtown or East Hill Plaza shopping. Adjacent 1.87ac parcel being sold separately (MLS R1572603).Time to buy while interest rates are still reasonable!
