They don't make them like they used to! Located in the heart of Slaterville Springs, this traditional style home is less than 20 minutes from Downtown Ithaca, Ithaca, College, Cornell University, Village of Dryden and TC3. This stately 1848 farmhouse offers 4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a woodworking shop, a small barn, and a pond on just over 4 acres. You'll be transported to the days of yesteryear when you walk across the wide plank floors throughout (some are 17+!). The hand painted ceiling in the living room is a sight to behold. The basement is exceptionally dry and the Thermo Control boiler utilizes both wood fuel and propane. While much of the traditional charm remains intact, the house is fully equipped with high-speed Spectrum Internet and a professionally wired network; working from home will always be an option.
