Striking 1911 Craftsman-style home overflowing with character inside and out, ideally nestled on the edge of Cornell University and Cayuga Heights. The unique chalet-inspired design blends classic exterior architecture with warm, inviting interior spaces filled with character and original details from top to bottom. Formal living areas feature exposed beam ceilings, hardwood floors, rich natural wood trim, French doors, a built-in window bench, and an inviting gathering nook with built-in seating centered around a fireplace. A cozy family room, currently used as an office, is surrounded by arched windows overlooking the wooded setting and accented by beadboard walls and ceilings. The charming breakfast bump-out with built-in pantry shelving also enjoys peaceful views of the private landscape. The kitchen is highlighted by stainless steel appliances, painted cabinetry, open shelving, tiled floors and solid surface countertops complemented by an old world charm tiled backsplash. A traditional wraparound staircase leads to the upper level offering three bedrooms and a stylish earth-tone tiled bath with a solid surface vanity top. Additional living space includes a heated year-round enclosed porch with vaulted beadboard ceilings, painted wood floors, and a west-facing wall of glass, creating the perfect office, studio, or reading retreat. Bonus recently built 24’ x 24’ two-car garage with walk-up second-floor storage, plus electric and cable service already installed, offers excellent flexibility for hobbies, workspace, or additional storage. Manageable yard space provides room for entertaining, pets, or outdoor gatherings. Major mechanical updates include a high-efficiency furnace, central air conditioning, water heater, air purification system, and water softening system, all installed in 2023, along with new roofs on both the house and garage in 2025. Conveniently located just blocks from campus, Sunset Park, Cayuga Heights Elementary School, and scenic overlooks of the city and Fall Creek Gorge, with a TCAT bus stop right next to the property.
