Fully furnished Cape Cod style home with spacious four bedrooms and a dedicated office space in the highly desirable Belle Sherman neighborhood. The main floor is laid out with an open flow between living and dining rooms, while a large pass through connects the kitchen to dining room. The kitchen is large and open with gorgeous sun streaming in from windows and a skylight above, inviting any baker to use the many workspaces available. The main floor has two bedrooms (the master bedroom, and one currently used as a play space), two bathrooms, an office space, and a craft / music room with an upright piano. The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom and several closets. The upper floor has two large bedrooms and a full bathroom between them. We also still have a beautiful wood crib/toddler bed in storage that could easily be reassembled if needed by tenant. The basement is finished with a recently renovated full bathroom; also a comfy family room with large TV and surround sound setup for family movie nights, a mud room with plenty of storage for all the seasonal gear a family needs, and utility room with a workbench, utility sink, and washer and dryer. The home is warm all winter thanks to updated windows, a wood burning fireplace, and a brand-new high efficiency natural gas heater using zoned technology throughout the house along with Ecobee smart meters. Similarly-zoned AC helps cool when needed, plus enjoyable fall and spring cross breezes. There is a fully screened in back porch running along the back of the house to make outdoor dining and relaxing easy while avoiding any possible bugs and still enjoying all the songbirds. The fully deer-fenced backyard has many amenities such as a stone patio, smokeless fire pit, a fenced raised bed garden, a kids play structure with swings in the side yard, and small raised deck where we usually place the hammock. The home is a short walk to the amazing Belle Sherman Elementary (K-5) school and playgrounds, less than a mile from Cornell University campus (with little elevation change), and less than two miles from Ithaca College. The buses for Dewitt Middle and Ithaca High school also pick up just two blocks away. Several shopping and restaurant options are an easy walk or bike ride away, including Collegetown, East Hill Plaza, and Downtown Ithaca (approx. 1 mile). The East Ithaca Recreation Trail and Six Mile Creek walking and hiking trails are both very close and easy to access. You may find you meet many other neighborhood professors and their families on daily walking commutes to and from Cornell campus. Additional amenities: Exercise bike, large board game cabinet (lots of ages covered) and puzzles, kids toys available if desired, kid craft space and art supplies Outdoor: charcoal BBQ, Smoker, Firepit, use of our NY state park pass (access to local Buttermilk, Taughannock, and Treman parks)
