Welcome to 40 Benjamin Hill Road — a sweet home tucked away on a quiet road just a mile from Main Street in Newfield. This three-bedroom, two-bath home offers the perfect mix of privacy, comfort, and convenience, with distant valley views and an easy 15-minute drive to Ithaca, & and an 18-minute drive to Cornell and Ithaca College.
Inside, you’ll find a bright, open layout where the kitchen flows into the living room. The sellers have made thoughtful improvements throughout, including removing the hallway door to expand the kitchen and living room space and adding extra cabinetry. They installed new hardwood flooring in the kitchen and hallway, updated the main-floor bathroom, and added a three-quarter bath upstairs. The back bedrooms and living room now feature refinished hardwoods, and the entire upstairs has been completely redone — perfect for a spacious primary suite or creative flex space.
Other updates include new mini-splits for heating and cooling, a new roof and gutters, a rebuilt deck at the house level, and a new water heater.
A wonderful mix of character, updates, and easy living — all within the Newfield School District.
