Charming 1850s farmhouse on 2 acres in the heart of Ellis Hollow, one of Ithaca’s most beloved rural communities. Surrounded by mature trees, perennial flowers, and lush landscaping, the setting is peaceful and private, with a babbling brook you can hear from inside the home. Original hardwood floors, a double-sided wood-burning fireplace, and a wood stove bring warmth and character. The open kitchen flows into dining and living spaces, with French doors to a second living area. All new Marvin windows throughout. Main-level laundry and enclosed porch add convenience. Upstairs offers four large bedrooms, two full baths, and a bonus office or guest space. Outdoors, enjoy a woodshed, small pole barn, and potential to expand the back deck toward the brook. Located just minutes from Cornell and downtown, and close to the Ellis Hollow Community Center offering swimming, sports fields, and neighborhood events. A rare opportunity to restore or reimagine in a sought-after setting.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
