Welcome to a piece of architectural history in Forest Home! This rare mid-century gem is a testament to unique design and timeless appeal. Nestled on a hillside along a private road and offering a perfect blend of tranquility and convenience, just moments from Cornell campus, this Lustron home, built of steel, stands as a testament to durability and low-maintenance design while marrying vintage charm with modern elegance. The main level features a modern kitchen and two bedrooms, allowing for easy single-floor living. Descend to the walkout lower level, where you'll discover a self-contained one-bedroom unit beautifully finished with design flare and an open floor plan. Ideal for guests, potential income, or simply as an extension of your living space, this lower level adds versatility to the property. Step outside to your fully fenced yard adorned with elaborate walls and a curved staircase, adding a touch of whimsy to your private oasis.
