About this home

An opportunity to bring your vision to life on this improved lot in a convenient location- close to Dryden, Ithaca, Cornell, and TC3. Following a fire, the previous home was largely removed, leaving behind striking original stonework, including the front entry, window surround, and a beautiful stone chimney that add character and a sense of history to the property. The existing detached garage features a concrete floor and provides valuable storage or workshop space, while the property is already equipped with a well and septic system. The seller had planned to build a duplex and has architectural plans that can be made available to interested buyers. Buyers should complete their own due diligence regarding intended use and approvals. The level, private backyard offers an ideal setting for outdoor living, with plenty of room for a future patio overlooking the peaceful surroundings. Whether you’re looking to build your dream home or explore an investment opportunity, this property offers a unique head start with existing improvements and endless potential.

Incredible value and location near Dryden with easy and quick access to Cornell, Ithaca and Cortland. Property is solid and livable but needs updating. Great layout and design will allow for excellent sweat equity potential. Some leaded/stained glass windows in place. Incredible features include beautiful leaded glass windows through-out. Expansive walkup attic with decked floor. Large basement with impressive stove fireplace. Waiting to be reconverted to family room. This home feels like 3500 Sqft. super high efficient, recently installed boiler. 2 enclosed porches add 200 Sqft to home.
