Welcome to this well-designed layout ranch style home currently configured as a 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence, with the flexibility to re-convert back to a 3-bedroom layout. A full basement provides additional opportunity to finish and expand the home’s usable square footage. Inside, you’ll find hardwood flooring and a block foundation, along with important mechanical updates that add value and peace of mind—including a furnace installed just one year ago, a hot water heater replaced three years ago, and windows approximately ten years old set on over 7 acres of land. An attached one-car garage—complete with a stove for heat—offers excellent space for a workshop, hobby area, or additional storage.
This property truly shines with over 7 acres of flat cleared land with a pond. This much usable land is a rare and valuable asset. Whether you envision gardens, animals, recreational space, or exploring future possibilities, the expansive acreage offers flexibility and freedom that’s hard to find. The pond adds charm and function, particularly for animals, while multiple outbuildings enhance the property’s versatility. This property includes a 10-year-old cottage shed and a large barn with a metal roof, gravel floor, and electric available—well suited for equipment storage, livestock, rental potential, or entrepreneurial pursuits. Buyers are encouraged to perform their own due diligence regarding permitted uses with the Town.
The property needs some TLC but with vision it offers significant potential. This is an opportunity to build equity while creating your dream home. A rare combination of acreage, accessibility, and single level living—just minutes from Ithaca. This property is being sold as-is without warranty or representations.
