Welcome to this affordable, move-in-ready Ithaca home, offering an excellent opportunity for both owner-occupants and investors alike. Filled with warmth and character, the home showcases beautiful real oak-paneled walls and ceilings-a custom level of character that is increasingly difficult to find.
The versatile floor plan is designed to accommodate a variety of lifestyles. A convenient first-floor bedroom provides flexible living options, while three additional bedrooms upstairs provides space for family, guests, roommates, or a home office. Two full bathrooms—one on the upper level and one on the main floor—add convenience. The basement features a dedicated laundry area along with a designated storage room.
The wraparound porch has 3 separate entrance points into the home and provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy the wooded backyard. The home has a newer hot water heater, vinyl siding, and has municipal water and sewer. There is a spacious black topped off-street parking lot to the left of the home-which is located on a low maintenance .24 acres.
Location is one of this property's greatest assets. Situated less than five minutes from Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine and within walking distance of a TCAT bus stop, the home provides convenient access to Cornell University, downtown Ithaca, Dryden, shopping, dining, and major employers. Located within the Ithaca City School District, this property offers a rare combination of affordability, character, convenience, and investment potential.
