Charming mid-century ranch in Ellis Hollow. Set back from the road on a tree-lined lot, this home offers the perfect blend of original character and thoughtful updates and is located just 2.5 miles from Cornell University and close to shops, amenities, and community trails. Inside, the inviting living and dining area has divided light windows that fill the space with natural light. The hardwood floors and original built-ins nod to the home's mid-century roots. A tastefully updated galley kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including an induction stove, making it both stylish and functional. An additional main level room, with sliding doors that lead to a multi-level deck and fenced backyard, offers a versatile space for a home office, gym, or den. Discover the bonus square footage in the lower-level — a family room which provides extra space for relaxing, along with a small office or studio area for work or hobbies, and an updated full bathroom. Storage won't be an issue, with plenty of space, a workbench for projects, and an oversized one-car, attached garage. Outside, the fenced backyard is perfect for pets, while the deep yard beyond offers a treehouse and room to explore. Mature shade trees create a peaceful, private setting. Enjoy the nearby Ellis Hollow Community Center with a pool, community events, and “Music in the Hollow”, hike on the nearby nature trails, or take an easy bike ride to campus. This is a quality, comfortable home with timeless character in a wonderful location.

NR
Neighborhood Residential District
The purpose of the Neighborhood Residential (NR) District is to define areas of the Town where established neighborhoods are situated in a rural landscape and constitute the primary land use. Single-family homes are the predominant form of development, and future development is unlikely. Home occupations are the primary commercial activity in this district. Agriculture is an allowed use in this district.
