About this home
Once a creamery, now a beautiful country retreat, this 1900 farmhouse blends historic character with easy, understated elegance. Set on 9.44 acres in the hamlet of Etna, with over 1,700 feet of Fall Creek frontage, the property includes broad, level grounds near the home and an acre of forever-wild land across the creek, all within easy reach of Cornell and downtown Ithaca.
A gracious wraparound porch overlooks the backyard and connects to the rear sun porch, an inviting setting for slow mornings and outdoor dining. A separate glassed-in front sun porch offers another peaceful spot to read, relax, and watch the seasons change.
Original hardwood floors and natural woodwork bring warmth throughout. The spacious formal dining room, framed by large windows, flows seamlessly into an oversized living room with two distinct sitting areas, abundant light, and a wood-burning stove against a handsome brick backdrop. The inviting kitchen pairs warm wood cabinetry with updated appliances and creek views, while a door opens directly to the back porch for easy al fresco dining overlooking the grounds and water. A spacious main-level home office offers flexibility as a welcoming guest room, with an adjacent updated full bath featuring a walk-in tiled shower.
Upstairs, a bright landing with built-in bookshelves creates a charming reading nook. The oversized primary retreat has generous room for sleeping and lounging, plus an adjoining area for a sitting room or workspace. Sloping ceilings and natural light create an airy feel. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath with a clawfoot tub complete the upstairs.
Outside, a flat, level yard with mature landscaping enjoys plenty of sunshine for gardening and outdoor activities, with a new Whitmore fence defining space for play and relaxation. Updates include an Ozone Water Filtration System, main-floor washer and dryer, new kitchen appliances, a new sidewalk and drainage improvements, fresh interior paint in most rooms, updated bathroom vanities, five updated windows, and new light fixtures. Discover the space, charm, and creekside beauty that make this farmhouse worth coming home to. Open House 1:00 - 2:30 10/11/26...
