Welcome to 103 Forest Drive, where timeless design, quality craftsmanship, and an outstanding Cayuga Heights location come together to create a home that is as inviting as it is distinctive. Proudly situated on a landscaped corner lot, this meticulously maintained residence offers the perfect balance of comfort, style, and convenience just minutes from Cornell University. A comprehensive renovation in 2021 thoughtfully expanded the home, introducing a spacious primary suite while seamlessly blending modern living with its original character. Inside, expansive windows fill the home with natural light, creating warm, welcoming spaces that flow effortlessly from one room to the next. The inviting living room is anchored by a gas fireplace and framed by oversized windows, opening seamlessly into the dining room. At the heart of the home, the renovated kitchen showcases custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a striking copper prep sink, generous workspace, and a thoughtful layout that makes gathering with family and friends effortless.
Just beyond the kitchen, a bright and cheerful main-level laundry room features a wall of windows, a dedicated folding area, and direct access to the backyard. Step outside to an expansive concrete patio with a pergola, creating the perfect setting for alfresco dining, summer entertaining, or relaxing while overlooking the landscaped backyard. The home offers four bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite featuring an oversized walk-in closet and a well-appointed ensuite bath with a glass-enclosed tiled walk-in shower, dual vanity sinks, and clean, classic finishes. Three additional bedrooms share an updated hall bath where classic subway tile, designer lighting, and a charming vintage porcelain sink with three individual faucets come together to create a space that is both distinctive and unforgettable.
The finished lower level provides outstanding flexibility with generous recreation space, dedicated areas for play, hobbies, or fitness. Ideally located in the heart of Cayuga Heights, 103 Forest Drive offers a rare opportunity to enjoy spacious living in one of the area's most established and sought-after neighborhoods.
