4 Ayla Way, Ithaca, NY 14850

Welcome to 4 Ayla Way—a meticulously maintained, owner-built home blending classic comfort with custom craftsmanship. Step into a sun-splashed entry with a vaulted ceiling, custom picture window, and leaded-glass details. A serene sitting/music room sits opposite a bright formal dining room that transitions seamlessly to the sunny eat-in kitchen. Maple cabinetry, expansive solid-surface counters, tile flooring, and a shapely peninsula anchor the space, while the breakfast nook overlooks gardens and a variety of mature plantings. Unwind in the fireside family room, where adjacent sliders spill onto a private deck embraced by nature. A dedicated main-level laundry room, a two-stall garage with a pegboard wall for tool storage, and a guest half bath add everyday convenience. The upper level is anchored by a king-size primary suite—a serene, sun-filled retreat with two walk-in closets and an immaculate en-suite bath featuring a double vanity and whirlpool soaking tub. Two additional spacious bedrooms offer full closets, ceiling fans, and treetop views, and share a bright hall bath with neutral finishes. Bring your inspiration to the expansive bonus room, where an arched dormer window, recessed lighting, a closet, and tidy knee-wall storage add terrific flexibility for an office, studio, playroom, or guest space. Downstairs, the finished lower level expands your living and entertaining space. A large recreation area is smartly zoned for movie nights and game days—think TV/media lounge, corner bar with seating, and a full billiards area. Daylight windows, recessed lighting, beadboard accents, and soft carpeting keep it bright and comfortable, with closets for easy organization. Around the corner, a hobbyist’s workshop offers expansive pegboard for tools, shelving, bright task lighting, and plenty of outlets. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in a neighborhood close to Cornell, shopping, and everything Ithaca, this home is a must-see. Square footage taken from Laser Measured Floor Plans.
