Two-story home in a prime downtown Ithaca location that packs an incredible amount of functional space into its 1,516 sq ft footprint! Featuring 8 total rooms—plus 2 roomy full bathrooms that don’t take away from the official room count—this property offers a versatile, flexible layout easily adapted for a mother-in-law suite setup or multi-generational living. Interior & Room Highlights: Main Level Layout: Step from the welcoming front porch into a spacious 12'x12' entry room. Directly to the left sits a flexible nook/den, which opens via sliding door into the sprawling 15'x20' main living room. Kitchen, Pantry & Baths: Straight ahead from the entry, a central hallway provides basement access, a built-in pantry, and the main-level full bath. The kitchen leads out to a covered back porch and an enclosed backyard. Second Entry/Egress: A new deck and covered entry area added in Summer 2025 create direct access to the base of the stairs, enhancing layout privacy and convenience. Hypoallergenic Upgrades: All carpeting has been completely removed and replaced with easy-to-clean flooring. Heating was converted from forced air to efficient baseboard heat to minimize dust and allergens. Custom Touches: Updated throughout over the past 15 years, including stylish "fandelier" ceiling fan/light fixtures in every room. Outdoor Space & Yard: Backyard Oasis: Fully gated with low-maintenance turf carpet, an Amish dollhouse shed complete with an open greenhouse extension, and a newly installed cozy wood stove. Permaculture Gardens & Curb Appeal: Mature permaculture gardens yield multiple cultivars of strawberries and raspberries from late May through mid-July. Features intricate stone borders with solar lights along the sidewalk for your favorite annuals. Driveway & Workshop Space: Off-street tandem parking for 2 small cars, with an additional greenhouse workshop space currently arranged in the inside spot. Major Infrastructure Updates: Asphalt roof (2011), new boiler unit (2023), and brand-new metal porch roofing, decking, and front steps (2025). Historic & Listing Photo Notes: Listing photos feature a special piece of home history shared during a visit last summer by Delores Tolbert, who lived here as a child in the 1940s—including a clipping from the Ithaca Journal’s Anniversary Memories book showing the aftermath of a 1947 windstorm! You’ll also see the "before" image of a maple branch that landed on the dollhouse shed last summer, which inspired adding the cozy wood stove to create the ultimate backyard retreat or "doggie mansion."
