212 Bundy Road

From a West Hill crest just a mile up from Cayuga Medical Center, the ease and efficiency of the 21st century finds a home in this beautiful 19th-century farmstead, complete with a 20th century custom stable with box stalls, tack room, and fenced paddocks. Surrounded by pristine fields, the wraparound porch offers views of Cornell on East Hill and Ithaca College on South Hill, both just 15 minutes away. Gorgeous pine-plank floors bask in sunlight streaming through double-pane windows. Large rooms with high ceilings, upstairs and down, stay cool with mini-splits. Solar panels top the 2-car garage. Quartz counters, stainless appliances, and a full walk-in pantry make cooking in the cozy kitchen a breeze. The kitchen peninsula counter is smartly hinged, offering another work station or a breakfast bar. The family room's skylights and wall of windows, plus a loft above for screens and speakers, prioritize both good company and the view to outdoors. Also downstairs, a beautiful, efficient soapstone woodstove charmingly heats the living room; the foyer has become a light-filled office; and the dining room is simply elegant, with a door to the porch for southern views. Upstairs, a large primary room has a walk-in closet and a passage to the loft library/music/media room. Three more bedrooms and a full bath with two skylights. Outside, slate patios and perennial gardens complete a feel that's immensely livable. There’s more: A thoughtfully designed one-bedroom apartment, added in 1989, has a cathedral ceiling, a spiral staircase to a loft, and another happy wall of windows, and could be an in-law suite, an office, or possible income. Katydid Stables was custom built in the 1980s, and has 4 stalls, Dutch doors, water and electric, tack room, hay loft with elevator plus three paddocks and room for a riding ring. Set within the original 250+ acre Bundy Farm, these two acres feel like so much more! Just minutes to downtown Ithaca or Tburg, Taughannock Falls, Alan Treman Marina and Cass Park, Wegmans, Trader Joes or the Greenstar Coop. Let your dream begin here.
