Mid-century modern ranch home on a deep double lot, ideally located just blocks from Cornell University, downtown Ithaca, and miles of scenic hiking trails. This well-maintained home offers a simple yet functional layout with hardwood floors, oversized rear-facing windows that flood the space with natural light, and a striking floor-to-ceiling light brick fireplace wall, currently outfitted with a wood stove insert for cozy winter evenings. The living, dining, and kitchen areas flow in a wrap-around layout, creating an open, connected feel. The kitchen features classic Woodmode cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, ceramic flooring, pantry, space for a breakfast table, and charming vintage pink tile. Recent updates include energy-efficient Marvin windows installed five years ago. Bedrooms feature clerestory-style windows for both light and privacy, while the hillside design provides a walk-out lower level and an elevated rear deck—perfect for enjoying the sunlit afternoons or dining under the stars. The expansive fenced yard leads to a wooded area where the sound of gorge waterfalls and nearby Six Mile Creek adds to the natural charm. Additional highlights include a rare two-car attached garage with an EV hook-up, off-street parking, generous basement workshop and storage space, plus additional storage beneath the garage. Just three blocks from the Mulholland Wildflower Preserve, Wells Falls, and Van Nattas Dam, and within 6 to 7 blocks of Cornell, downtown, and Belle Sherman Elementary—this is a rare city find on a beautifully diverse .42-acre lot.
