Property Details:

Unique and exceptional property just outside Ithaca featuring a modern eight-year-old contemporary home on 4.04 acres with three versatile outbuildings to suit a variety of lifestyles. Nestled in the Finger Lakes region, just minutes from Cayuga Lake, 5.5 miles to downtown Ithaca, and an easy drive to Cornell University, this property offers space, privacy, and convenience. Lovingly maintained, the four-bedroom, three-bath home features an open floor plan with cathedral ceilings, abundant natural light, and sweeping views of both morning sunrises and evening sunsets. The main level includes a primary suite with a walk-in closet, barnboard accent wall, and private bath, plus a second bedroom ideal for guests or a home office. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious loft overlooking the living room — perfect for an office, playroom, or lounge. The kitchen blends country charm with modern touches, featuring white cabinetry, brick-style walls, and farmhouse lighting. The stunning living room is centered on an electric fireplace and framed by soaring ceilings, natural wood accents, and double doors leading to a sunny deck. Outdoor living is exceptional, with a large deck, hot tub, and in-ground pool — all privately set with no neighbors in sight. Three impressive outbuildings expand the possibilities: an antique barn relocated to the site in the 1930s with power and dual lofts, a 26’x36’ two-car garage with power and storage, and a 70’x30’ metal building with concrete floors, two overhead doors, power, insulation, water, and a full second level for flexible use. Additional highlights include a paved driveway, recent exterior stain, new on-demand boiler, high-speed internet, municipal water, and proximity to Lansing Schools, Myers Park, and Lansing Harbor. A rare and remarkable opportunity in the Finger Lakes!
