Set on over 7 acres of level, open grassland, this inviting farmette-style property offers space, versatility, and long-term potential—all within the Ithaca City School District. The ranch home is currently configured as a 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence, with the flexibility to be re-converted to a 3-bedroom in addition to finishing the full basement to add more usable square footage. Inside, you’ll find hardwood flooring and a home built on a solid block foundation, complemented by key mechanical updates-important improvements that add value- including a furnace installed just one year ago, a hot water heater replaced three years ago, and windows approximately ten years old. An attached one-car garage has a stove which makes it a perfect location for a workshop or hobby space in addition to parking or storage. Outdoors, the property truly stands out. The expansive, flat acreage offers numerous possibilities—from personal enjoyment to future investment strategies. A pond adds appeal and is accommodating to animals, while multiple outbuildings enhance functionality, including a 10-year-old shed and a large barn with a metal roof, gravel floor, and electric available-well suited for equipment storage, rental use, livestock or entrepreneurial ventures. Please accomplish due diligence with what the Town allows. This property delivers a rare combination of accessibility, usability, and rural charm—all just minutes from Ithaca.
