Lakeviews
in Northeast Ithaca
Imagine an outdoor patio space that can accomodate you and 300
of your closest friends. This house has it, along with fabulous
lakeviews, especially at sunset.
Built in the Colonial style in 1940, this 4 bedroom home has
3 full stories of living space with over 3000 finished square
feet. There is a long circular driveway leading up to the home,
completely built with Llenroc stone (natural quarry stone of
Ithaca - Llenroc is Cornell spelled backwards).
A formal entry welcomes you with 16 high ceilings. Artistic
wall decor which highlights the French Provincial stylings of
the wroght-iron windows. A long, 25 foot living room space is
accented by a brick fireplace and curved doorways. A lower level
office offers great light and half bath accessibility.
Dining is informal
off the kitchen (designed by Bob Baker) which has a newer refrigerator
and two wall ovens, a cooktop stove and dishwasher. Access to
the attached 2-car garage is also off kitchen.
The upper floor has a large sitting room area with large picture
window overlooking front lawn and lakeviews. There is also a
full walk-up attic that has been partically finished for additional
family living spaces.
The master bedroom is generous sized, 18x14. There is a nice
dressing area off the master bedroom and also a newly updated
bath with tile and newer fixtures. Plenty of closet space found
throughout the house but especially in the master suite. There
is also a second fireplace in this master bedroom suite and the
views of the lake are very nice!
There are three other bedrooms, two are also very good-sized
while one could be a den or office space. There are 28 newer
vinyl windows in the house which adds to the overall low-maintenance
quality. With a stone structure, no painting is required!
The grounds are very special with mature trees and perennials.
There is a good storage shed/chicken coop which did have chickens
in it years ago. There are mowed paths throughout the 4.9 acres
and this backyard space is entirely private. The land next to
and behind the house is owned by Cornell University so will most
likely remain lightly used for many years to come.
Kids can attend the Ithaca schools, even though this property
is located just over the Town of Lansing line. This home has
been in the same family for many years and they have enjoyed
raising their family in this home.
