320 University Ave, Ithaca, NY 14850

So close to Cornell! Entertain regally in this dramatic, one-of-a-kind, historic East Hill home, with humble 1907 beginnings as a stable and squash court, then upgraded to a home in 1927 with no expense spared. The 30’ paneled living room’s stone fireplace, leaded glass windows, and platform library hearken back to classic British clubs, and there's room for a couple of concert grand pianos. The equally gracious stone-floored dining room with stone fountain seats four or forty for dinner. Cook’s kitchen includes pantry; former tack room stores your dinnerware collection. Main floor master’s balcony overlooks East Hill with winter views of Cayuga Lake and starry nights, and summer privacy. Build your dream wine cellar and workshop in the former stable below. 4 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, plus sweet in-law suite or garconniere with separate entrance. Enormous walk-up attic might make a spectacular master suite or artist's studio. Building’s thick walls provide surprisingly reasonable utility costs. This place is a total WOW! (Temporarily off the market while sellers install a totally new roof -- back on market in late September) Neighborhood Description Neighborhood is a lively mix of faculty, students, professionals, and is a historic district. It's a short walk to Cornell, and an equally short walk to the heart of downtown Ithaca.
