Just 4 miles from Ithaca is a lovely updated 2732 square foot ranch home on 4.3 acres with a large tree-lined pond. Around the house is mostly cleared yard surrounded by woods filled with local wildlife. On the main floor are 3 bedrooms, a full bathroom, large eat-in kitchen with walk-in pantry and the living room with a wood-burning fireplace. On the finished lower level is an additional bedroom, another full bathroom, laundry room and family room with another fireplace, and there is a door to the private backyard. Lower level with private entrance would make a great in-law apartment. The extra-large garage with electric may fit up to 4 vehicles plus there’s a huge concrete pad carport attached to the garage. Current owners made several significant house updates including a brand new 50-year metal roof and a complete remodel to the studs of the main floor bathroom to create a luxury type spa feel. Lots of additional insulation added including Rock Wool in the main floor bathroom walls and rigid foam under the roof. They added a 12x14 concrete pad for a shed in the yard that would also be an excellent patio overlooking the pond. Fenced area right behind the house for little ones and pets. Home has radiant floor heat and central AC. Agricultural zoning allows growing your own food and livestock. Zoning could also allow division. Fantastic location only 6.5 miles to both Cornell and Ithaca College campus.
