OPEN HOUSE - 289 Etna Road, Ithaca, NY 14850
Saturday, Oct 17th from 12 PM - 1:30 PM

3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2.88 acres, 1,669 SF
https://portal.onehome.com/en-US/share/1217685Y94347

Built in 2016, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath ranch offers easy one-level living just minutes from Cornell, Ithaca, and Dryden. Inside, an open layout centers on a large eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and sliders that lead straight out to the backyard. Fresh paint in the living room and kitchen gives the home a crisp, move-in-ready feel, and the bedrooms are generously sized with walk-in closets. A large laundry room sits conveniently off the attached 2-car garage. Energy-conscious construction runs throughout, with 4-zone in-floor radiant heat, double-pane windows, on-demand hot water, and insulated concrete foam walls keeping the home efficient and comfortable year-round. Step outside and the real transformation begins. Since 2022, the backyard has been reimagined into a true retreat: a 16' x 16' deck overlooks the woods, a gravel patio with an outdoor bar sets the scene for entertaining, and a stair pathway ties the two spaces together. The expansive yard has some fencing and is newly screened with young trees for privacy, while a path through the wooded portion of the property winds to a secluded sitting spot tucked into nature — the perfect place to disappear for an hour with a book or a cup of coffee. Modern comfort, thoughtful privacy, and peaceful wooded surroundings — all within easy reach of Cornell, Ithaca, and Dryden. This is one-level living done right.

3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1,625 sf, 1 acre - $225,000
https://portal.onehome.com/en-US/share/1224280Z57236

Step inside this stately stone-and-brick residence, a dwelling of exceptional character with its Victorian accents awaits your grand vision. This well-maintained home offers three bedrooms and one full bath, with a magnificent Victorian style wood-burning fireplace. Beautiful hardwood floors throughout the house anchor the principal parlor with the rest of the home. It’s the sort of hearth that brings Victorian warmth and comfort to long Ithaca winters. Outside, the facade of fieldstone and brick speaks to a timeless architectural tradition, distinguished by twin chimneys and a welcoming stone portico. The property sits upon a full acre of private grounds, offering ample expanse to cultivate formal gardens, construct an addition, or simply take the air amidst the surrounding greenery. Situated within the Ithaca City School District, this estate places you within easy distance of all that the region provides—from the bustling shops and eateries of downtown Ithaca to Cornell University and the romantic vistas of the Finger Lakes. With excellent bones and enduring elegance, this residence stands ready for a discerning keeper to move right in and/or to restore it to its true splendor.
