Set high above Hudson St on a beautiful half-acre city lot, this welcoming 1860's home offers soaring ceilings, spacious rooms, and a blend of both Italianate and Greek Revival architecture. Beautiful wood floors and well-windowed throughout, a striking staircase, and a practical layout add to its appeal. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and a full bath; the main floor includes a front living room/parlor, formal dining room, expansive family room, 4th bedroom or office, a 2nd full bath, laundry and an eat-in kitchen with winter lake views. Enjoy the private back yard and majestic maples from the screened back porch, or a different lookout from the classic covered front porch. Ideally located within walking distance of downtown Ithaca, South Hill School, Cornell, the South Hill recreation way, Mulholland Wildlife Preserve, First Dam, Ithaca College, and future South Works. Wonderfully privacy too, with its own driveway and garage off Hawthorne Place, with easy access to neighborhood walks. Public Open House Saturday 11/7 from 12-2.
