Classic 1950s Cape Cod-style home privately set well back from the road on a 1.39-acre double lot, located less than 3 miles from Ithaca and under 4 miles from both Cornell University and Ithaca College. From the moment you step inside, the home showcases ageless character with original natural wood doors, glass doorknobs, hardwood floors in the foyer, arched doorways, and traditional Cape-style upper-level bedrooms. A spacious, sun-filled living room stretches across the front of the home and flows into a generously sized family room centered around a painted stone wood-burning fireplace, with a side door opening to the yard for easy indoor-outdoor entertaining. The main level also features a formal dining room and a thoughtfully designed kitchen with full-height natural hickory cabinetry, pantry, ceramic tile flooring, and space for a breakfast table overlooking the yard and woods. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main floor and includes a private bath and peaceful woodland views, ideal for one-level living or separation from the additional bedrooms upstairs. The upper level offers two charming bedrooms and an updated full bath. The lower level provides excellent potential for expansion, workshop space, and includes a dedicated laundry room. A deep one-car garage offers room for a vehicle, tools, and storage, while the paved driveway leads to a generous parking and turnaround area. Additional features include two storage sheds, natural gas, central air, and distant views from the front deck. The expansive yard offers exceptional outdoor living with wooded areas, a fenced rear yard, patio, playhouse, and plenty of space for gardening, all just minutes from local hiking trails, Six Mile Creek, and the quaint hamlet of Brooktondale.
