Tucked away from the road with a large open yard in the Village of Cayuga Heights, this mid century modern home by architect John Hartell features warm birch panels, large picture windows full of natural light, and numerous built-ins. The main level has two bedrooms sharing a full bath, a tastefully updated kitchen, a formal dining area, and a large open living room with a fireplace and 2 walls of windows. The view extends over CHES playground to the sunsets over the West Hill beyond the lake. The lower level has ceramic tile floors with a bed and bath suite, a pottery studio with a kiln, a laundry/utilities room, and a large craft room or home office. A great light filled family room with a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows leads out to the patio. The yard has a small creek with a bridge to CHES, mature trees, flowers and ornamental beds, and lots of birds to enjoy. A covered walkway connects the one car garage with a garden storage room to the main house. Come see this gem!
