This gem of a home is in the quiet, residential Belle Sherman neighborhood on Ithaca's East Hill. Enjoy the privacy of being in a house and the serenity of a spacious backyard. Centrally located with an easy walk to Cornell, collegetown, downtown Ithaca, and East Hill shopping plaza. East Hill Recreation Trail and the Six Mile Creek Mulholland Wildflower Preserve are close by for hiking, biking, and viewing waterfalls. First floor of the house includes a living room with fireplace and piano, dining room nook, galley kitchen, half bath, 3 closets and an additional room that could be a study or bedroom. Lots of south facing windows make it cheerfully sunny. The second floor has one large bedroom with 2 closets and 2 built in desks with a lovely porch overlooking the spacious backyard. There is also a medium sized bedroom, a full bath, and an additional small room that could be a study, craft room, or nursery. There are many built-in bookcases and closets and the oak floors throughout the house make a charming and inviting home. New kitchen appliances plus washer, dryer, and workbench in basement. Attached garage means no scraping ice and snow off your car in the winter! The large yard is quite private with small flower gardens near the house. The stone patio just outside the back kitchen door is a lovely place to have a cup of coffee or tea on warm summer mornings or have a casual meal on a beautiful Ithaca evening. Perfect for a single professor, academic couple, or small family. A top rated elementary school is a short walk away, if you have young children.
