Just 8 miles from Ithaca is this wonderfully updated and well-maintained 1850 Greek Revival on 8.73 acres. Beautiful views, trails thru the woods, and a small observatory are just a few of the appealing features. Solar panels keep the electric to a low $20/month average. Complete kitchen renovation in 2011 with hickory cabinets and granite counters as well as many other improvements (list available). Throughout the house are what appear to be the original wide plank floors retaining the historic charm of the home. 2 full bathrooms on the main floor as well as the laundry and the primary bedroom. Upstairs has 2 wings each with another bedroom. Dry basement with both an interior and exterior entrance (exterior entrance rebuilt in 2011 with addition of covered patio). Seller was an astronomer and used the observatory with a telescope (have to provide your own telescope). Corn crib behind the house as well as two additional sheds and a well pump house. Fabulous property so close to Ithaca with a short commute to Cornell and Ithaca College.
