Cared for by the same owner since it was built in 2003, this beautifully maintained 3,200 sq ft home offers an exceptional combination of privacy, space and convenience on 11.3 acres, just four miles from downtown Ithaca. A long, recently sealed blacktop driveway winds through the woods before opening to an impressive setting of expansive lawns and fields, with the home tucked well away from neighboring properties. Take in far-reaching views from the covered front porch or step through the sliding glass doors to the large back deck overlooking the backyard. Inside, a bright two-story entry welcomes you to the main level, where the living room features a propane stove and a beautiful wall of windows framing the distant views. The kitchen offers abundant maple cabinetry and is flanked by both a formal dining room & a separate breakfast room. A family room, half bath and mudroom off of the attached garage complete this level. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary suite with a large walk-in closet and private bath featuring a Jacuzzi tub and separate shower. A conveniently located laundry room is also found on the second floor. The finished walkout lower level adds an entirely new dimension to the home, with a dedicated home theater, wet bar, gym and half bath. Built-in speakers throughout the main and lower levels allow you to enjoy various media throughout the home. Outside, recent improvements include leaf guards on the gutters, almost all the window screens replaced, a concrete front sidewalk, a new pad at the lower-level entrance and an additional concrete pad behind the attached two-car garage, which also features a third garage door at the rear. Storage and workspace are plentiful with a shed plus a 32' x 24' detached garage with heat and electric. With 11.3 acres of open land, the property offers exciting possibilities for farming, gardens, a nursery, horses, goats, hobby farming and more, all while being remarkably close to downtown Ithaca. A rare opportunity for acreage, privacy and versatility without giving up the convenience of a 5 minute in-town commute.
