Set back from the road and nestled into the woods, this thoughtfully designed multi-level home offers exceptional privacy while remaining just minutes from the City of Ithaca. Surrounded by mature trees, a gently flowing creek, and fenced grounds, the setting feels peaceful and secluded, yet Cayuga Lake, schools, shopping, and the Cornell campus are close at hand. Located in the Lansing School District, the home blends natural beauty with everyday convenience. An inviting entry foyer opens to light-filled interiors featuring hardwood floors on the main level, exposed beams, custom built-ins, and large windows that bring the outdoors in. A gas fireplace anchors the living space, while French doors lead to a 16’ x 36’ composite deck, reinforced for a hot tub and overlooking the surrounding woods. A front patio offers another quiet place to relax. The kitchen features granite countertops, a breakfast bar, solid wood cabinetry, tile backsplash, and a cozy sitting area with peaceful yard views. A main-level laundry room and half bath add everyday ease. Upstairs, the staggered layout creates privacy between bedrooms. The primary suite offers vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, multiple closets, ceiling fans, a Palladian window, skylight, and a renovated ensuite bath with marble and tile finishes. Two additional bedrooms—each with skylights and ceiling fans—share a renovated full bath. The lower level provides exceptional flexibility and flows seamlessly with the home. Currently configured as a one-bedroom in-law or guest suite, it includes full-size windows, a gas heating stove, custom built-ins, shop space, split electric meters, and both interior access and a private exterior entrance—ideal for multigenerational living, guests, home office use, or rental potential. Additional highlights include Mitsubishi mini-split heat pumps throughout, pull-down attic storage, abundant closets, cedar siding, architectural high wind–resistant shingles, underground utilities, municipal water, natural gas, cable access, driveway lighting, a long paved driveway with automatic gate, extra parking, a two-car garage with epoxy floor, and a 14’ x 10’ storage garage.
