About this home
Authentic character, beautiful craftsmanship, and far more living space than you might expect from the street! Designed in 1923 by noted Ithaca architect John M. Wilgus, this distinctive Craftsman home is just blocks from the Commons in a quiet, sweet neighborhood. It offers FOUR levels of living space, FOUR bedrooms, and FOUR full baths.
Original Craftsman details have been beautifully preserved, including rich oak floors and chestnut millwork, a distinctive Mission-style staircase, plaster walls, original light fixtures, period hardware, and clawfoot soaking tubs. The traditional floor plan offers comfortable bedrooms and an abundance of spaces for living, working, hobbies, guests, and entertaining.
The walk-up third floor adds two finished rooms and a full bath, creating wonderful bonus space for an art studio, home office, playroom, guest space, or creative retreat. The partially finished, [exceptionally] dry basement provides even more flexibility for a workshop, workout room, office, hobbies, and storage.
One of the home’s most charming features is the covered front porch, reached by a unique bridge over the lower level and complete with a porch swing—the sellers’ favorite place for morning coffee, evening wine, and watching the sunset. Off the kitchen, a screened porch provides another inviting spot for meals, gatherings, or simply enjoying the seasons.
Street parking is convenient and typically easy to find directly in front of the house. A pre-inspection is available from the sellers for added peace of mind. With its remarkable original details, flexible living spaces, and walkable location near downtown Ithaca, this is a home whose warmth and character simply cannot be recreated....
