Large 3BR + office, family home close to Cornell, most utilities included

Description

Built in 1840 and nestled on two bucolic acres, this beautifully renovated farmhouse is close to everything yet quiet and peaceful. It is our family home, and we think it is the perfect base from which to explore all the Finger Lakes have to offer. We would love to share it with you while we're away on sabbatical! The home strikes the perfect balance between old-world character and modern comfort. Wide plank wood floors, generous room proportions, a fully updated kitchen with custom cherry cabinetry and tile floors, along with central heat & air conditioning, renovated bathrooms and a laundry room, all ensure that daily life is easy and comfortable. The home is move-in ready, fully furnished and lovingly maintained. The kitchen opens into a warm, casual living space with couch and TV. It overlooks a deck and stone patio where you can look out over beautifully landscaped, fenced grounds — ideal for children, pets, and lazy weekend mornings with coffee. With 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a dedicated first floor home office, there is ample space to spread out, work remotely, and truly settle in. The property includes expansive grassy areas, fruit trees, thriving berry patches, woods, and a chicken coop with laying hens. Parking is off-street. ** Bed & Bath ** All bedrooms are upstairs First bedroom: queen-size bed and en suite bathroom with separate bathtub and shower.

The surrounding region is nothing short of spectacular. Cascading waterfalls, dramatic gorges, and miles of hiking trails await in every direction. The Finger Lakes wine country is at your doorstep — explore renowned wineries, cideries, and distilleries woven through rolling farmland and vineyard-covered hillsides. Vibrant Ithaca, home to Cornell University (10 minute drive) and Ithaca College (20 minute drive), offers outstanding dining, farmers markets, arts, culture, and a full calendar of festivals throughout the year. ** Traveling With Children? ** This is a wonderful community for families with school-aged children — safe, welcoming, and genuinely neighborly. We love the Lansing school district and its small class sizes and inclusive culture; we're happy to connect you with other families if you'd like. A family-friendly ski resort is just a 30 minute drive away and makes winter even more fun - kids and their families can join the low-cost ski club through the school district!
