1753 Danby Rd Rd, Ithaca, NY 14850

There's a quiet kind of magic to this property, 18 private wooded acres, a meandering stream, and a tucked away pond, yet you're still less than five miles from downtown Ithaca. It's a setting that feels worlds away while still keeping you connected to everything nearby. This thoughtfully updated Cape Cod balances warmth and openness with a clean and modern design. Cathedral ceilings and natural light define the main living space, creating an easy flow that feels both airy and grounded. The kitchen has been fully reimagined with granite countertops, new cabinetry, and updated appliances, while new flooring and paint throughout bring a cohesive, move-in-ready feel. A beautifully renovated first-floor bath, complete with a new tub, shower, and refined tilework, adds to the home's polished finish. Three bedrooms on the main level, including the primary suite, offer comfortable one-level living. Just off the entry, a mudroom connects seamlessly to the oversized two-car garage, practical especially for upstate seasons. Upstairs, the home opens up in an unexpected way. A lofted second living area leads to a deck overlooking the backyard, with the stream just beyond, creating a natural extension of the living space. Two generously sized rooms on opposite ends offer flexibility, whether for guests, a game room, or creative use, while still maintaining a sense of separation and privacy. Beyond the main home, a detached 1,040 square foot garage expands what's possible here. With new exterior siding, a concrete floor, loft space, a dedicated office, and a roughed-in bath, it's well suited for a workshop, studio, or small business setup. What stands out most is how seamlessly this property brings together privacy, usability, and setting. It's not just acreage; it's land you can explore and enjoy, with a home that has been carefully updated to support that lifestyle. Square footage reflects photographers measurements.
