Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac just east of Ithaca, this welcoming home offers the kind of setting that’s hard to find—peaceful, private, and surrounded by nature on an oversized 1.6-acre lot. With zero through-traffic, neighbors become familiar faces and the sounds of everyday life give way to birdsong, rustling trees, and time spent on the covered front porch greeting guests or simply unwinding from the day’s work activities.
Inside, the traditional layout offers both comfortable gathering spaces and room to spread out. A formal entry with classic slate tile flooring anchors the home between the bright formal living room and dining room. The living room is filled with warmth and character thanks to a wood-burning fireplace, hardwood floors tucked beneath protective carpeting, and sliding glass doors leading to the back deck for an easy indoor-outdoor connection. The eat-in kitchen is designed for practical everyday living with a spacious pantry cabinet, another deck access point, and direct entry from the attached garage—making grocery runs and busy mornings feel effortless. The formal dining room overlooks the front porch and front yard, equally suited for holiday gatherings or relaxed weeknight dinners.
Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms provide comfortable retreats, including a spacious primary suite with an updated full bath featuring a newer walk-in shower, a walk-in closet, plus an additional second closet for extra storage. Two additional bedrooms share a second full bath and offer great closet space of their own.
The lower level expands the home’s flexibility with two partially finished rooms ideal for a rec room, hobby studio, home office, workout space, or media room—along with a third full bath and dedicated laundry area complete with utility sink. A recently replaced furnace and Central AC system (2021) add year-round comfort and peace of mind, along with a newer roof (2020).
The backyard blends open lawn space with wooded surroundings, creating sunny spots for gardening, shaded areas for relaxing, and a natural setting that invites exploration. A stream crossing near the lot lines adds to the storybook feel of the landscape and gives nature lovers even more to appreciate.
Despite the tucked-away setting, the location keeps you remarkably connected—just minutes to Cornell University through Varna, close to Ithaca Tompkins International Airport, Cornell Business & Technology Park, and shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences near the Ithaca Mall and northeast corridor.
Offered for the first time since 1990, this is a home that has been deeply enjoyed and lovingly cared for through decades of memories. Now it’s ready for its next chapter—and for new owners to make it their own special place to gather, celebrate, and simply enjoy life.
