Set on a beautifully landscaped lot minutes from Ithaca College, this bi-level checks the boxes that are hardest to find: space, privacy, and a backyard that's truly yours. The fully fenced rear yard is framed by mature trees, dotted with grapevines, and ready for whatever you have in mind — garden, pets, fire pit, all of the above.
A long blacktop driveway offers generous parking and gives the property a solid, established feel from the moment you arrive. Natural light moves through the home freely, and the open kitchen-dining layout keeps the main living area connected and easy to work with.
Enjoy three nicely sized bedrooms, two full baths, and a fully finished basement ready for buyers to put their own stamp on it.
