Some properties are just houses. This one is a legacy. Cherished by the same family for 80 years and lovingly reimagined between 1987–1990, this lakefront retreat is the kind of place people don’t sell, until life insists. Step onto the deck and drink in unobstructed lake views, a peek at Cornell on the horizon, and a sky that puts on a daily show with ospreys and eagles soaring overhead, hot air balloons drifting past, and rainbows arching over the water. Below, crew teams glide past in perfect synchrony and sailboats drift lazily by, turning the lake itself into a living postcard. The main house features 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, with a sweeping wall of windows that frames the lake from nearly every room. Hand-hewn beams salvaged from an 1800s barn bring warmth and character, while central A/C keeps things comfortable no matter the season. A basement workshop awaits your projects, and the level lakefront lawn invites evenings around a fire with the water lapping quietly nearby. An aluminum 12V boat hoist and dock make lake life effortlessly accessible. A charming 1-bedroom cottage on the property has served as a rental and is equally perfect for guests, in-laws, or as a steady income stream. An unfinished upper level offers a blank canvas for your vision, whether that’s reimagining the floor plan with extra living space, adding a studio or maintaining the storage. All of this, less than a mile from the Ithaca city line, with municipal services close at hand, wineries up the road, and the full bounty of the Finger Lakes region at your fingertips.
