Versatile opportunity less than 10 minutes from the City of Ithaca—this wonderfully maintained two-story home has been thoroughly rebuilt including new sheetrock, electric, plumbing, insulation, lighting, kitchens, baths, windows, siding, roof, and more. Currently configured as a two-unit property with a one-bedroom upstairs and a two-bedroom downstairs, it can easily be converted back into a spacious three to four-bedroom, two-bath home, with original door framing still in place. The main floor features an eat-in kitchen with rich shaker-style cabinets, tile flooring, and engineered hardwood in the bedrooms and living room, plus a beautifully appointed bath with a granite vanity and ceramic tile. Upstairs offers bright, open rooms, a large bedroom, living room, oak kitchen, and extra storage—the kitchen could be removed to create a primary suite with bath. Each unit has laundry, and the main level includes a carport with storage. Set on a stunning 1.1-acre lot with a sweeping lawn, wooded grove, and ample space for gardens, a play area, pets, chickens, a firepit, or expanded outdoor living. Live on the main floor and rent the upstairs for income, or enjoy it as a single-family home—ideal for long-term living or short-term rental. Split electric, municipal water and sewer, and natural gas complete the package, offering classic Upstate New York charm just minutes from Ithaca.
