A rare opportunity in Cayuga Heights: a 1920s home that preserves the character and elegance of its era while offering the confidence and comfort of a virtually new home. Completely reimagined and extended from the foundation up, the renovation was executed to the highest standards, down to the studs, including a new foundation. Exceptional craftsmanship and quality are evident throughout. A gracious porcelain-tiled foyer opens to a sweeping staircase and inviting formal spaces. The heart of the home is the stunning gourmet kitchen, featuring Wolf appliances, beverage refrigerator, island seating, butler’s pantry and fireplace. The former dining room was opened to create a bright, effortless space for everyday living and entertaining. A mudroom, powder room and storage add function, while the first floor also offers a formal living room with fireplace and private office. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite features a walk-in closet and spa-like bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual sinks and heated towel bar. Two additional bedrooms have ensuite baths, with laundry conveniently located nearby. The finished lower level offers a gorgeous two-bedroom, two-bath apartment—perfect for guests, extended family or rental income. Radiant floor heat, mini-split air conditioning, plantation shutters and three fireplaces add comfort throughout. The original slate roof was replaced with a premium slate-look recycled polymer roof and new copper gutters. Outside, professionally designed landscaping, stone walls, patios and an outdoor fireplace create an exceptional setting for entertaining. A large, level lawn provides ample room for play, gatherings or a future pool. This is the rare combination of old-world charm and new-home peace of mind - a truly special Cayuga Heights property where the character you love is already paired with the work you hope you never have to do.
