Options Abound at this wonderful property! Settle in and enjoy 2,000 square feet of comfortable living space in this well-built 1800’s home featuring four bedrooms & two full bathrooms—all generously sized. Add a sweet accessory apartment for extra income (currently $925/mo) or eventually integrate it into the main home: a former doorway for reopening is still in place. The home was thoughtfully refurbished with exposed beams in the living room, new windows, electric, plumbing, heating, insulation & new siding – the works! Mature trees and a creek behind, plenty of parking on both sides of the home, with space for a garage, fencing, patio - whatever your fancy. Ideally located just 1.5 miles from Cornell’s Vet School, close to East Hill Plaza, 1 mile to the Cornell Botanical Gardens, Fall Creek hikes, and nearby bus routes. Great opportunity for easy living at an affordable price.
