Tucked into the hamlet of Danby, 6.7 miles from downtown Ithaca, this cedar-sided home is unlike anything else on the market with many recent updates including roof, heating/cooling system, new windows and more!
The main floor feels warm and inviting from the moment you walk in: hardwood floors, arched doorways, and a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a bold green accent wall that sets the tone. The kitchen has its own personality with green cabinetry, a gas range with a cheery backsplash, and a butcher block island that naturally becomes the center of everything. A sunroom off the dining area frames seasonal views year-round. The primary suite, two additional bedrooms, and an updated full bath complete the level.
The lower level is accessible by stairs or by slide. You know which one you're taking.
Downstairs, the space opens up with open space, a second living room, full bedroom, two full baths, laundry, and a home gym. Plus an epic rec room with an indoor spiral slide, trampoline, and aerial rigging setup.
Outside, a spacious deck and detached two-car garage round out the property. Dotson Park and Danby Food and Drink, with its live music and community vibe, are just around the corner. Danby State Forest is just down the road in the other direction when the trails are calling. All of it in the Ithaca City School District.
This is not a house for the ordinary. Come see it.
