It’s all in the details! This Cayuga Heights Dutch Colonial is where timeless character meets refined sophistication. Perched gracefully on a knoll, wide front steps lead to a pillared porch, while ornate iron doors set the tone for the craftsmanship and design found throughout. Thoughtful, high-end renovations, including a 624 sq. ft. addition, blend seamlessly with the home’s historic charm. Every element has been chosen with care, from architectural Anderson windows with invisible screens to elegant crown molding, exquisite tile work, and carefully curated kitchen, bath and light fixtures. Sunlight pours in through custom windows and doors from every angle. The Foster Custom Kitchen, with a generous eat-at bar, quartz counters, quality cabinetry, induction stove with downdraft exhaust, and custom tile floor, opens to the expansive new great room. Here, dining and living spaces are anchored by a gas fireplace, tray ceiling, and a wall of French doors leading to a Trex deck. The original living room honors the home’s heritage with pocket doors, a wood-burning fireplace, and French doors to a charming covered porch overlooking the backyard. A tastefully designed full bath is tucked discreetly behind a sliding door. A period stairway with custom windows and built-in bookshelves leads upstairs, where you’ll find four bedrooms, including a primary suite with an elegant en-suite bath. The third floor offers a serene retreat, perfect as a bedroom with sitting area or den, complete with its own sink. The lower level includes space for a recreation room or gym, a half bath plumbed for a shower, and direct access to the two-car garage. Outdoors, a hot tub and slate patio are nestled between decks, with ample front and rear yards for gardening or play. Ideally located in the heart of Cayuga Heights, across from the school and less than a mile from Cornell University, this home is as practical as it is beautiful, an inspired blend of history, comfort, and modern style.
