Tucked just beyond the City of Ithaca on the West side of the Town of Ithaca, this inviting 3-bedroom/1-bath ranch offers the perfect blend of simplicity, comfort, and convenience. Step inside to an open living and dining area filled with natural light — an easygoing space designed for relaxed everyday living. The compact galley kitchen is efficient and charming, with direct access to a backyard greenhouse shed, making farm-to-table meals as simple as stepping outside to harvest your own fresh veggies. The generously sized primary bedroom features a large picture window facing south and west, filling the room with natural light and offering plenty of space for both comfortable lounging and/or a home office setup. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are tucked into the east wing of the home, where distant hillside views add a calming backdrop. A practical mudroom connects the main level to the outdoors and the full basement, which provides excellent storage and exciting potential for future finished space — whether for a recreation room, studio, or office. An enlarged basement egress window was added for expanded living possibilities. Also benefit from natural gas heating, municipal water and sewer, and newer exterior solar lighting. Outside, enjoy a covered front porch, perennial gardens, and a welcoming sense of privacy in this quiet, tucked-away setting. Located just off Floral Avenue in the Cayuga Heights Elementary/Ithaca High School District, this home feels like a hidden retreat while being only minutes to downtown Ithaca, shopping, dining, Cornell, and nearby natural escapes including Buttermilk Falls and Robert H. Treman State Parks. A wonderful opportunity for simple living in a location that truly offers the best of both worlds.
