Magical Cayuga Heights home on a picturesque 1.18-acre lot, brimming with storybook charm and timeless character across three levels of thoughtfully designed living space. The striking stone and masonry exterior features a distinctive round turret with conical roof, classic dormers, a slate roof, and a stately chimney supporting two wood-burning fireplaces—all enhanced by original multipaned windows that preserve the integrity of the 1939 architecture. Inside, a graceful curved oak staircase with decorative wrought iron railing welcomes you, along with hardwood floors, built-ins, and multiple fireplaces. A spacious, sun-filled living room offers painted wood floors, large windows, and a brick fireplace, while the formal dining room features a charming window bump-out framing glimpses of Cayuga Lake and the surrounding woods. The bright, efficient kitchen at the rear offers tiled counters, light cabinetry, a breakfast bar, and pantry. A sun-drenched south-facing porch with a private entrance serves perfectly as a home office or relaxation space. Upstairs, the large primary suite includes a tiled shower, jetted tub with a view, MacKenzie-Childs sink, walk-in closet, and potential to convert part of the layout back to an additional bedroom. A second bedroom with ensuite bath and rich wood floors completes the upper level. The walk-out lower level, accessed through the turret stairwell, adds even more charm with tongue-and-groove walls and ceilings, built-ins, tiled floors, a third full bath, additional wood burning brick fireplace, office or guest space, and an inviting library or family room. Lower level guest space was previously used as a bedroom. Outside, enjoy stone walkways, patios, landscaped beds, open yard space, and mature woods. A one-car garage is tucked within the home’s footprint—ideal for potential living space expansion. Frontage on two roads combined with 1.18 acres offers many possibilities for current and future uses. Seasonal views of Cayuga Lake open up as the seasons shift through the year. This unique and enchanting property is just minutes to Cornell, downtown Ithaca, shops, parks, and the lake itself, at the bottom of the road.
