About this property
This is city living that feels like a nature oasis. On offer is a spacious home with a large modern addition created to take advantage of the beautiful setting. A large deck overlooks a 3.5+ acre parcel of lawn and woodland. A meandering woodland path leads to a classic Ithaca gorge with a stream and two waterfalls tumbling over the rocks . The handsome Queen Anne Victorian sits behind its neighbors on a cul de sac in the desirable Belle Sherman neighborhood, but feels like it's in another world. Inside, 3000 square feet of living space begin with a classic Victorian entry, then leads to a soaring addition that maximizes the views outside. Upstairs, the original house has two to three bedrooms and a bath. A hall leads to the addition which features a high ceilinged master suite with bath along with another bright bedroom and a large loft. Energy efficient and solid, this home has been well loved and well maintained. The original Victorian details like bulls eye molding and pocket doors are preserved. It's an eclectic house, perfect for entertaining and large gatherings, yet still cozy. The two story carriage house outside could become a garage, or converted into office or studio space. In addition, the property has two driveways. The main drive is a simple access between two neighbors that opens into the spacious land, the other, down a steep hill to East State Street. If life within walk of a college and city amenities is what you need, but connection to nature is what you crave, this is the solution.

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
- Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
- Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
- Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
- What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
- For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
