496 Hayts Road is a contemporary ranch on a 0.85 acre corner lot a few minutes west of Ithaca. The corner lot gives the property added room and privacy, and a detached 12 by 20 utility building adds space for storage, a workshop, or hobby use. The home has three bedrooms and one and a half baths across 960 square feet on the main level, with a finished full basement that brings the total living space to roughly 1,720 square feet. The kitchen was fully remodeled with new counters and new appliances, and new flooring and fresh paint carry through the home. The finished lower level adds flexible space for a family room, home office, or guest area. The updates go past the finishes. A new energy efficient boiler and an on demand hot water system keep heating and hot water costs low with little upkeep. The property sits in the Ithaca City School District, with Cayuga Medical Center and the west side of town a short drive and Cornell and downtown Ithaca a straightforward commute from there.
