| DESCRIPTION: |
Make yourself at home in this beautiful, impeccably maintained historic 1840s Greek Revival house on 4+ peaceful acres (3 acres are electric-fenced for pooches) with two ponds, small barn, perennial gardens, patio, and distant views, just 12 minutes from Ithaca and Cornell. Proximity to state forests makes for easy access to abundant hiking, skiing, biking. Thick, well insulated original walls insure comfort – cool in summer, warm in winter. Owners have preserved the charm of this lovely home while bringing the kitchen and bath into the 21st century. Eyebrow windows, high ceilings, and the parlor’s neoclassic muraled ceiling and faux-woodgrained parson’s door bespeak gentler times. 18-20” wide plank floors were hewn from the property’s original forest, and the first owner’s ledger tells the story of the building and its early inhabitants. A later owner penned a manuscript describing her flight from NYC to become a farmer in Caroline during WWII. 3+ acres of invisible fencing give your dog nearly-free reign. Former summer kitchen serves as workshop with ample work bench, potting area, and large wood stove. |
