Historic Victorian Gem – Versatile Home or Business Opportunity
Dramatic price reduction! This is -not- a fixup property; it's a well-maintained property with lots of living space for the money (just $144/sq ft!). Step into timeless character with this distinctive Victorian home, originally built in 1845 and thoughtfully preserved to showcase its historic charm. Whether you’re seeking a comfortable private residence or envisioning a boutique business—such as an antique shop, art gallery, Bed & Breakfast, or Airbnb—this property offers exceptional flexibility.
Inside, authentic details abound: original unpainted woodwork, wide-plank hardwood floors, and classic “butterfly corner block” moldings—rare features that highlight true 19th-century craftsmanship. Custom built-ins further enhance the home’s unique appeal.
The spacious layout includes three generous bedrooms plus two large bonus rooms—ideal for a home office, studio, gym, or additional living space, with potential for a separate staircase. High ceilings and oversized windows fill the first floor with natural light, creating an inviting, airy atmosphere.
Enjoy peaceful outdoor living with a welcoming front sitting porch, a serene side yard featuring an ornamental fish pond with waterfall, and additional side and rear decks—perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
Ideally located just minutes from Buttermilk Falls State Park and Robert H. Treman State Park, and under 10 minutes to downtown Ithaca, recently recognized as a top destination to visit. Conveniently situated along a public transportation line.
A rare combination of comfort, character, and convenience—this is an opportunity not to be missed!
[NOTE: No zoning in Newfield allows for business opportunities. Buyers need to verify their desired use. Photos were taken prior to some furniture being removed.] Large room on first floor could be living room/parlor or additional or primary bedroom.
