1016 Trumansburg Road

Tucked into West Hill, this charming 1930s cape offers the rare combination of historic character, modern updates, privacy and outdoor space, — all within city reach but on town taxes. Enjoy the sunrise views over the lake and a bluestone patio sheltered by a mature dogwood hedge and garden. This home has classic arched doorways, hardwood floors throughout, craftsman wood trim, original light fixtures, a brick fireplace flanked by built-in shelving, and vintage water radiators, with updated energy-efficient windows. There are 3 well-proportioned bedrooms and a full bathroom on each floor. The eat-in kitchen is built for cooking — a farmhouse sink, gas range with professional-grade vented hood, generous built-ins, and a center island anchor the room. Recent updates include a renovated spacious bedroom with a lofted ceiling, and additional bathroom with a glass shower, marble vanity, and high-end mosaic floor tiles, a 2-year-old energy-efficient tankless water boiler/heater. Exterior trim and all the interiors were repainted in the last 4 years. The .5 acre double lot has a private, thoughtfully landscaped yard with blue stone steps and a patio and cottage garden including established peonies, rhododendrons, azaleas, hydrangeas, lilacs, magnolias, hostas, dogwoods, several towering spruce trees, a Japanese maple, eastern hemlocks, and other trees. Enjoy summer and fall fruits with productive blueberry bushes, raspberry, blackberry brambles, serviceberry and elderberries trees, as well as your own mini orchard with young stone-fruit and apple trees that have begun to bear. Garage with a built-in work bench and level driveway provide convenience in winter months. 4 minutes to the heart of downtown Ithaca, 12 to Cornell.
