Exceptional opportunity to own a large, period classic home in one of Ithaca’s most sought after historic neighborhoods Cornell Heights. Footsteps from prestigious Cornell University.
Spanning 3,000 square feet, this grand residence showcases original architectural details, high ceilings, oversized windows, and hardwood floors. A gracious foyer sets the tone upon entry and leads to a spacious living room with a wood burning fireplace. The sunny breakfast room just off the kitchen creates a warm and inviting space for everyday dining, gathering, or relaxing. A classic sunroom stretching across the front of the home enhances both charm and functionality, filling the space with natural light.
The location is exceptional. Situated right on the edge of Cornell campus, the property offers immediate access to the university, public transportation, and some of Ithaca’s most beloved natural areas, including Beebe Lake and the Fall Creek Gorge trail system.
With six bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, multiple living areas, the layout offers remarkable flexibility. Ideal as a primary residence, multi generational home, faculty retreat, or investment opportunity, the property would also lend itself beautifully to an owner occupied Airbnb or boutique bed-and-breakfast (subject to local approvals).
Enjoy proximity to Cornell’s academic and cultural life while being moments from downtown Ithaca’s restaurants, shops, and farmers market. This is a rare offering combining historic charm, prime location, and versatile potential in the heart of the Cornell community.
