1058 Danby Road

Tucked away behind a private gate, this beautiful 1930s Craftsman awaits on 1.71 secluded acres. Surrounded by mature greenery, the property unfolds as a peaceful private retreat with expansive lawns, a nature trail, a fire-pit gathering area, and a three-car garage. Inside, generous living spaces and the artistry of the Craftsman era create a home of warmth and distinction. Restored ceiling beams, doors, surrounds, chandeliers, and wall sconces celebrate its original character, while sunlight fills the gracious living room with fireplace and formal dining room. The bright, beautifully appointed kitchen pairs crisp cabinetry and dark counters with generous workspace and abundant storage, blending timeless style with everyday function. An Adirondack-inspired three-season porch, wrapped in natural wood and windows, offers a tranquil connection to the surrounding landscape. The main level also features a dedicated home office, along with a bedroom and full bath that provide wonderful flexibility for guests or one-level living. Upstairs, both the spacious primary bedroom and separate guest bedroom feature walk-in closets. Another full bath and versatile bonus areas offer wonderful possibilities for a playroom, studio, reading nook, or additional living space. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully improved over time, the home features a new boiler (2025), new water heater (11/24), roof and gutter improvements, and numerous additional updates—all completed with respect for the craftsmanship that makes the home so special. The setting places some of South Hill’s favorite destinations right at your doorstep. EAC Montessori School, Dolce Delight, and Ithaca College are all less than a quarter mile away, while Cornell and downtown are just minutes beyond. From the backyard, follow the property’s nature trail toward the waterfalls and walking paths of Upper Buttermilk Falls State Park, less than half a mile away. At 1058 Danby Road, timeless craftsmanship, remarkable privacy, and an extraordinary natural setting come together in a rare South Hill offering—a place to gather, retreat, and connect w/ nature while Ithaca’s culture, campuses, and downtown remain close at hand.
