LOCATION - Premier Location in Ithaca! This iconic and historic home was among the first built in Ithaca, and later to the Tibetan monks as their first monastery in Western NY. Your backyard in this home is the Cascadilla Gorge and Waterfall. Two blocks from your front door is Ithaca Coffee, all of the shops and restaurants of the vibrant Ithaca Commons. If you prefer not to walk to Cornell, the T-Cat goes there directly in minutes, making the upstairs unit of this home ideal for Cornell students, should you decide to cover taxes through a partial rental. A truly rare opportunity, this home lives beautifully as a single family, including a charming 3rd-floor apartment with endless possibilities as a teen or guest suite, rental or Airbnb, complete with its own separate entrance!

The beautiful foyer with stunning woodwork immediately sets the tone for the quality and charm of this historic home. The updated granite kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring elegant cherry-wood cabinetry, a center island breakfast bar, hardwood floors, and French doors that open to the expansive patio, behind which you’ll find a private garden followed by woods along the bank of the gorge. The large patio, with its tranquil backdrop of cascading falls, creates a serene outdoor retreat where you can unwind and enjoy nature’s peaceful soundtrack.
