A project worth doing! This classic Forest Home 2 story cottage was built in 1825, is in an Estate and is being sold in as is condition. First time on the market since 1965. The rushing waters of Fall Creek are within view from many rooms and the sound will fill your days. Relatively wide and deep lot offers gardens and a small barn. Cherry and pine floors, plaster walls, and wood burning fireplace. House is described as 2 bedroom, but on the 2nd floor there is a sleeping porch at rear and an expanded landing that is large enough for a living room or open office. Main level offers a small study/library and formal dining. Easy stroll to the Cornell campus and CU Botanical Gardens.
