Property Description
Built as the home of Ithaca's first judge, the main residence carries character in its gracious rooms and original details. A beautiful chestnut staircase anchors the interior, while generous gathering spaces, a gas fireplace, and a formal dining room create a home equally suited to quiet evenings and memorable occasions. In the kitchen, natural stone countertops, double ovens, and plentiful cabinetry provide the function expected for modern living.
However, some of the best moments may happen outside. Settle into the porch swing, tend the flower and vegetable gardens, or simply enjoy the privacy created by the mature landscape and fully fenced yard. From here, an afternoon walk can lead to Beebe Lake, the Cornell Botanic Gardens, nearby waterfalls and trails, or directly onto Cornell's campus.
A separate Carriage House expands the possibilities with a heated two-car garage and a private one-bedroom apartment with its own kitchen and bath. It's a valuable and versatile space for guests, extended family, work-from-home needs, or potential rental income.
Behind the historic architecture is an impressive commitment to efficiency. Three solar arrays, hybrid water heating, and energy-efficient heat pumps bring modern heating and cooling to the property while contributing to remarkably low electric costs for much of the year.
A truly special Ithaca property where history, nature, and modern living come together in an extraordinary location.
