Welcome to the Hamlet of Newfield, NY—home of the historic Covered Bridge and just 5 miles south of vibrant Ithaca. Nestled off the road, this classic 1930s Village Colonial offers timeless character with thoughtful updates and a lifestyle of comfort and convenience. A welcoming covered front porch with new railings and supports sets the stage. Step inside to a light-filled living room with hardwood floors, flowing through French doors into a cozy family room warmed by a woodstove. The formal dining room also with hardwood floors connects seamlessly to the country kitchen, featuring a sink-side window, wood floors, newer cabinets, and a newer stove. Off the back, a sunny tiled sunroom with sliding glass doors opens to the deck and backyard, extending your living space outdoors. Explore the upstairs from the decorative wood staircase and discover three bedrooms with hardwood floors, recessed lighting in two rooms, and a renovated full bath. A bright sitting nook with newer window overlooks the front yard, while built-in bookshelves add charm to the hallway. A walk-up attic offers flexible options—guest room, home office, or rec space. The basement includes a 1-car garage for smaller vehicles, laundry with utility sink, and abundant storage. Mechanical updates ensure peace of mind, with a new boiler (2021) and municipal water/sewer service. Outside, enjoy a deep, semi-private backyard with firepit — perfect for gardening, bird-watching or relaxation. Fresh interior paint, solid systems, and excellent condition throughout make this home truly move-in ready. All this within minutes of Newfield Schools, Library & bank - catch the TCAT busline easily to Ithaca past Lower Treman State Park and just 10 minutes to Wegmans. A rare chance to own a well-maintained Colonial blending historic character with modern updates—ready for its next chapter.
