37 Woodcrest Ave, Ithaca, NY 14850

A rare find in one of Belle Sherman's most sought-after pockets — close to everything, removed from it all. The East Ithaca Recreation Trail picks up at the dead end and connects straight to Cornell, making it an easy walk or bike ride to campus. You're also just minutes from the Mulholland Wildflower Preserve and the Six Mile Creek Natural Area, with its streams, waterfalls, forest, and Ithaca College. A freshly paved driveway leads to a one-car garage, framed by mature landscaping, and a covered breezeway opens onto a patio with a wall garden before reaching the front door. Step through the entry and the ceilings rise up around you, with light pouring in from every direction and hardwood floors running throughout the main level. Straight ahead, a wall of windows and a sliding glass door open onto the private back deck where you're surrounded by greenery on every side — the perfect setting for morning coffee or unwinding as the day winds down. The main level flows effortlessly, a galley kitchen designed for both function and style, an open dining area, and a living room anchored by a gas fireplace, with floor-to-ceiling windows on the front side keeping the space bright all day long. At the end of the hall, the primary suite offers a quiet escape away from the main living space. The hall bathroom is finished with in-floor radiant heat, ADA Compliant, and a curbless six-head shower. Downstairs offers even more living space — two well-sized bedrooms, a full bathroom, a bonus room that can flex to whatever you need, a second living room built for movie nights or game days, and a bar room that doubles easily as an art studio or craft space. The laundry area and walk-out basement complete the lower level, with direct access to the backyard. This home offers and exceptional combination of privacy, nature, and convenience to Cornell University and downtown Ithaca. For added peace of mind the roof was redone in 2024, a new deck was installed Spring 2024, and new hot water heater and dehumidifier installed 2023.
