This striking 1911 Craftsman-style home, brimming with character inside and out, sits in Cornell Heights on the edge of Cornell Campus and Cayuga Heights. Its unique chalet-like design blends classic exterior charm with warm interior details, including exposed beam ceilings, rich wood trim, wood floors, French doors, and a cozy gathering nook with built-in seating centered on a fireplace. The family room, currently used as an office, features arched windows overlooking the wooded setting, complemented by beadboard walls and ceilings. A quaint breakfast bump-out with built-in pantry shelving adds to the home’s charm, while the kitchen showcases stainless steel appliances, painted cabinets, solid surface counters, open shelving, and a tiled floor. A traditional wrap-around staircase leads to the upper level, where three inviting bedrooms accompany a stylish earth-tone tiled bathroom with a solid surface vanity. Second floor bonus space is a heated, year-round enclosed porch with vaulted beadboard ceilings, painted wood floors, and a west-facing wall of glass offering an ideal office or reading nook. The recently built 24x24 two-car garage includes a walk-up second-floor storage space plus electric and cable connections for versatile use. The manageable yard is perfect for entertaining, pets, or picnics. High efficiency furnace, AC unit, water heater, air purification system and water softening system all installed in 2023. Conveniently located next to a TCAT bus stop and just blocks from campus, Sunset Park, Cayuga Heights Elementary, and scenic overlooks of the city and Fall Creek gorge, this home offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern comfort.
