Wake up and get to class in minutes from this classic mid-century ranch just a few blocks to the Cornell campus. This 1950s Kit-house has improvements! New mini-split A/C, new appliances, new waterproofing system, new roof with a charming retro kitchen that has a breakfast bar and open dining/living room combo. Away from campus mayhem, yet close and quietly nestled on the edge of Cayuga Heights. This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home is close to the TCAT bus lines and all the kids' schools. Walk out to a big yard with new plantings and bluestone patio. Clean, full basement great for exercise, recreation, or workshop, or finish it for more living space. An easy-to-maintain house like this, in a location like this, is a gem.
