507 E SenecaIthaca City, NY, 14850

A distinctive mansion-styled residence in the center of Ithaca’s East Hill Historic District, between Collegetown and Downtown Ithaca, just steps away from Cornell campus. Notable for its historical significance, the house sits adjacent to Sage House, which is the home to the Cornell University Press, Cornell’s Board of Trustees and General Counsel offices. This turn-of-the century architecture was designed and built with exceptional craftsmanship: a spacious 1 st floor foyer leads to a cascading stairwell and a two-story atrium, a welcoming living room with two fire places, a formal dining room punctuated by a crystal chandelier, a private library-office lined with built-in hardwood shelves, and an open kitchen with granite countertop and oak cabinets. The 1st floor has 3 access doors leading to the front porch and two decks. The 2rd and 3rd floors provide versatile living space, including 8 bedrooms decorated with boutique wallpapers, 5 full baths, an enclosed porch, and an additional kitchen unit. In this context, the comforting feeling and accessibility of the design is throughout, accentuated by hardwood oak flooring covering the entire house. The house also has full access to Ithaca’s municipal services. This is a rare opportunity to own one of Ithaca's unique and beautiful houses, layered in timeless design features and historical significance.
