More than 300 square feet of finished basement space provides valuable bonus space for a recreation room, home gym, office, or media room. A dedicated basement workshop and additional unfinished storage add even more functionality. A partially finished walk-up attic provides easily accessible storage with potential for additional usable space. Outside, enjoy an ample yard surrounded by mature trees, along with a back patio and fire pit for outdoor dining, entertaining, or relaxing. With hardwood floors, a one-car garage, insulated sunroom, finished basement, workshop, walk-up attic, basement waterproofing, and a 0.66-acre lot, this Town of Ithaca home offers plenty of potential, versatility, and convenient access to everything Ithaca has to offer.

About West
Hill
West Hill, located between Cayuga Lake and the Cornell University campus, is a residential and hillside Northwest Ithaca neighborhood with wooded slopes and long west-facing sunsets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Stewart Avenue–West Hill Terrace corridor, where porch-lined streets meet a steady stream of walkers and cyclists. Housing leans toward early-20th-century homes and compact apartment buildings, with mature trees and stone retaining walls shaping the streetscape. Sunset Park functions as the everyday green, with open lawns and lake views. Community pillars nearby include the State Theatre of Ithaca, the Ithaca Farmers Market, and the Kitchen Theatre Company.
