The lucky new owner of this charmer will have a brand new 30-year roof with a transferable warranty! Located in the Lansing school district, this inviting mid-century ranch offers 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and the warmth, character, and versatility you will love. The family room greets you with soaring ceilings, exposed beams, a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, and walls of glass at both ends of the room that fill the space with natural light. The back sliders open to a spacious deck perfect for morning coffee, listening to the birds and enjoying sunset views. The kitchen offers maple cabinetry, space for dining, and recent updates that include a newer refrigerator, dishwasher, and sink. Hardwood floors run through the formal living room and bedrooms, and the primary includes its own en-suite bath. A full basement and attached 2-car garage provide ample space to spread out for projects, the whole-house generator will give you peace of mind, and the small barn-shed can store your outdoor supplies or maybe you will want to make it a home for your chickens. Set on a nicely landscaped, level lot with room to garden and play, this charming home, with all the right spaces, offers peaceful living with easy access to Ithaca, Lansing and Cayuga Lake.

RA
Rural Agriculture District
The intent of the RA District is to designate areas where farming and farm-related businesses are the predominant and desired land use activities. Some nonagricultural development, largely low-density housing, has occurred, is anticipated in the future, and is appropriate. Measures to preserve the viability of farming activities are appropriate.
