Mid-century Cayuga Heights home on a beautiful lot bordered by Pleasant Grove Brook. This brick ranch was built in 1956 with high quality materials and building practices. The main floor features a 23-foot living room/dining room with large windows, recently remodeled kitchen, primary bedroom, and full bath. The lower level was once a second living unit and has two additional bedrooms and full baths, a family room or office, and large laundry/craft room in the former kitchen. The garage is attached to the house via an enclosed breezeway that could serve as a small office or breakfast nook, and provides access to the rear deck. A large room under the garage offers potential workshop space or additional storage. The huge lot includes an open area with lawns, plantings, and trees that provide interest throughout the year; plus a natural area featuring a small gorge and waterfall. Roof solar panels help with electric bills. Excellent location a few yards from the elementary school and near Tcat bus stops.
