Nestled in the scenic hills of Newfield, this secluded 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom bi-level home offers the perfect blend of modern updates, absolute privacy, and vintage charm on 3.95 acres of park-like grounds. Enter through the 3-season porch that doubles as an excellent mudroom and leads into the kitchen-dining space. The interior has been refreshed with all-new flooring and brand-new windows that frame the gorgeous natural surroundings. The upper level maximizes natural light, while the west-facing orientation bathes the main living spaces with filtered late-day sun. The lower level provides a clean slate, fully prepared for your custom vision. This expansive basement offers incredible potential to add a fourth bedroom, an additional lounge, a home office, or a flexible rec-space. Stay dry in inclement weather with a 2-car attached garage that connects to the lower level through a convenient tunnel. Upgraded insulation and a new electrical panel ensure peace of mind and energy efficiency for years to come. Outside, the property is a true private sanctuary, complete with a dedicated camping and fire pit area perfect for starlit gatherings. Enjoy the ultimate combination of rural seclusion and commuter convenience, located just minutes from the Route 13 corridor and downtown Ithaca.
