This unique, charming, and well maintained stone cottage sits on just under 2 acres, minutes from Cornell University, East Hill Plaza, and downtown Ithaca. Built in 1939, this property has only been owned by 3 families and hasn’t been on the market in over 20 years! Enter via a covered front porch and classic Dutch door into a warm living room with hardwood floors and a striking stone fireplace. The kitchen features a granite island and countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and cherry floors which span into a 2005 addition. This addition boasts a large picture window that brings the outdoors in and may be used as a dining room or sun room. Two large bedrooms with original hardwood floors, additional built in storage, and a full bathroom with marble vanity and classic black and white tiled bathroom floor round out the living space. There’s a full unfinished basement, one-car stone garage, and a 10x12 storage shed that offer abundant space for storage and hobbies.
Outside, enjoy a mix of open lawn and wooded privacy - perfect for gardens and gatherings with an expansive side yard that offers potential for an outbuilding. A private deck overlooks an original stone chimney grill. The current owner has made many enhancements and upgrades including French drains in basement, new roof, and other substantial upgrades (Complete list available).
This classic cottage is truly unique, so contact your Realtor and schedule your showing soon!
