Contemporary Charm in Ellis Hollow — Income Potential, Privacy & Updates!
Consider this solid gem in desirable Ellis Hollow: set on a beautifully landscaped .63-acre level lot, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers space, flexibility, and modern updates, with the bonus of income potential or multigenerational living. Cornell antique bricks were used for all the brickwork on the exterior of the home, walkways, entryway floor and fireplaces, possibly from the demolished Cornell library in 1960.
The brick fireplace anchors the spacious living area—perfect for cozy evenings. The formal dining room seamlessly connects to the eat-in kitchen, and three season sunroom. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms and a full bath, offering comfort and tranquility.
The lower level features a fully equipped apartment with its own private entrance, second fireplace, bedroom, and full bath — perfect for an AirBnB rental, in-law suite, home office, or guest retreat.
Step outside and enjoy the expansive, newly fenced backyard—a true private oasis perfect for outdoor gatherings, pets, or simply soaking in nature. The gorgeous three-season porch (not included in the 2,200 sq ft of living space) offers additional space to unwind and enjoy the view year-round. A stone patio invites summer grilling and entertaining.
Additional highlights include:
Whole-house generator for peace of mind (Generac 16 kW backup generator was professionally installed.)
Fresh interior paint throughout
Added attic insulation for energy efficiency
This is the perfect blend of style, comfort, and versatility — all just minutes from Cornell, downtown Ithaca, and Ellis Hollow Preserve trails.
Don’t miss your chance to call this exceptional property home! OPEN HOUSE: Sunday June 29th 12 noon to 2pm.
