409 S Albany St, Ithaca, NY 14850

A charming craftsman home on a quiet block of downtown Ithaca, sheltered from the street by gorgeous flowering cherry and plum trees and quaint perennial landscaping. A welcoming front porch invites you to sit with a cup of coffee, or evening aperitif while enjoying the sunset. Upon entry, a large foyer gives plenty of space to greet guests. Living room to the right, with lovely leaded glass windows and a cozy open wood burning fireplace. Beyond the foyer you’ll pass through the dining room to reach the kitchen, with two main floor bedrooms on the South side of the home, and a renovated full bath at the end of the hall. A laundry room doubles as passage to the back yard. Upstairs you’ll find three more bedrooms and a half bath. Five bedroom in total, or plenty of home office space. The private back yard is flanked by fencing, rhododendrons and lilacs. Plenty of attic storage space under the upstairs eaves, and a full unfinished basement, which has never been wet during these owners 14 years here. Just blocks to the Commons, 6 Mile Creek, shopping, dining amenities, and close to public transit. This address is in the Belle Sherman Elementary district
