Description

The view from the high-ceilinged, light-filled living room is of trees and sky, creating a peaceful and relaxing space to unwind. The home is situated on 4 private acres in Mecklenburg, just west of Ithaca. There are two bedrooms. The master bedroom has a comfortable high-quality king-sized latex/natural foam mattress. The second bedroom can be configured with either a second king, a queen, or two twins (The photo shows it with two twins). The living room features a loft sleeping space with a twin mattress. The loft is best suited for children ages 7+ or agile young adults. The home includes two full bathrooms, including a private ensuite bathroom off the master bedroom with a large soaking tub. The large cathedral-ceiling living room, complete with piano, opens into a dining area and fully stocked kitchen with a Viking stove and extra-large refrigerator. Outside, the spacious deck includes outdoor dining space, a Weber Genesis II grill, and views of the backyard and pond. The property also features a firepit, picnic table, and children’s play set with swings and slide. The property includes a fully separate lower-level apartment occupied by a single quiet long-term resident (owner’s family member). Each residence has its own private entrance, laundry, and parking, with no shared interior living spaces. The connecting stairwell door remains locked from both sides. Conveniently located approximately 15–20 minutes from Cornell University, Ithaca College, downtown Ithaca, Watkins Glen, Cayuga Lake, Seneca Lake, wineries, breweries, parks, and waterfalls. Ideal for visiting faculty, sabbatical stays, relocating professionals, remote workers, or anyone seeking a peaceful furnished stay near Ithaca. All utilities are included: propane heat, electric, high-speed internet, trash removal, snow plowing, and lawn care. Ample private parking is available.  High-speed internet and flexible sleeping arrangements make the space especially well suited for remote work and extended stays.
