Country dreams take root at this lovingly cared-for farmhouse set on 14+ acres between Ithaca and Trumansburg, complete with a swimming pond, fenced garden, fruit trees and room to explore. Bring your homesteading plans here - with space to expand gardening, keep livestock, pursue outdoor hobbies and more. Inside, old-house character meets thoughtful updates. The modern kitchen with 10' ceilings is bright and welcoming with newer flooring, lighting, appliances, Quartz counters and a very handy walk-in pantry. Hardwood and pine floors add warmth and charm, while the formal dining room sits conveniently between the kitchen and living room. Main-level laundry & full bath keep everyday living practical. Prepare to fall in love with the renovated back family room, with exposed wood beams in a vaulted ceiling, complete with loft space and a wall of windows overlooking the deck and pond. A pellet stove provides another source of heat and adds cozy appeal. Upstairs there are 2 nicely sized bedrooms and a bright 2nd full bath with skylight. A home office space or exercise room, plus nice storage. Both baths are updated with tiled showers; downstairs also has a tub. A long list of improvements is available. Need a main-level bedroom? The living room can easily be converted into the 3rd bedroom with reinstalling the original double wood doors. Outside, pick Mc Intosh or Liberty apples from the fruit trees, wander through the fenced blueberry patch or dig into the established raised-bed gardens. Mature black walnut, oak, maple and cedar trees add beauty & a true country feel. The stocked pond reaches ~12' deep at the South end and offers fishing for catfish and smallmouth bass. A detached one-car garage offers generous workshop space and a new overhead door, while a separate back shed, once a pony barn, provides more storage options. Just minutes to Taughannock Falls State Park via the Black Diamond Trail, with easy access to Cayuga Medical Center, Ithaca Yacht Club & downtown Ithaca/Cornell University/Ithaca College. For buyers looking for an older home with style, substance and room to breathe—but not an overwhelming amount of house—this one feels just right!
