We will be away from Cornell on sabbatical for the 2022-2023 academic year, and are looking for a family who will enjoy our lovely home while we are away. Additional photos and information are provided on the website listed below, but here are the main highlights :
MODERN, SPACIOUS, AND COZY : Our 3100 square foot home has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, an additional home office, and is modern, cozy, well-cared for, and renovated a few years ago when we first moved in. The main level features an open, spacious layout with a well-equipped kitchen, connected to the dining room and a bright, cathedral ceiling sunroom. There is a family room with 70" TV with surround sound and reading nook, a large living room / playroom with a fireplace, a half-bathroom, a home office, and is attached to our 2-car garage.
The second floor has a large master suite with vaulted ceiling, master bathroom and walk in closet, three additional bedrooms (one of them is currently being used as a second home office), and a second full bathroom.
The basement level is finished and has a fully equipped exercise room (treadmill, exercise bike, weight bench, chin-up bar, Bowflex, free weights) with TV, and additional fireplace, plenty of storage, and a large bonus area.
CONVENIENT, QUIET, FAMILY-FRIENDLY LOCATION CLOSE TO CORNELL : Our home is on a half-acre lot, in a quiet, peaceful, and very family-friendly neighborhood on a circle with no through-traffic. Lush landscaping and trees surrounds the property and provides shade and privacy, and the backyard is completely fenced-in. Enjoy the oversized back patio with outdoor furniture and hammock, or the covered front porch. The Cornell campus is very close by - an easy, flat, 10 minute bike ride away (or a 5 minute drive; there are also nearby bus routes). 5 minute drive (15 minute walk) to the Ithaca mall, amenities, restaurants, supermarket, Ithaca Bakery, and coffee shops. 8 minute drive to the airport. Great school district - Cayuga Heights Elementary School is less than a mile away, and Ithaca High School is nearby.
ADDITIONAL AMENITIES :
* Well-appointed, updated kitchen includes a large, granite wrap-around countertop, stainless steel appliances including a gas range, microwave, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, KitchenAid stand mixer, high speed blender, Instant Pot, and nearly any kind of cookware that you might need.
* The house comes fully furnished, and the arrangment of furniture is flexible : we currently have 1 king bed, 2 queen beds, and a child's bed. One of our upstairs bedrooms is currently set up as a home office, but that can be changed.
* The back patio has a Weber gas grill, a Weber charcoal grill, and a full complement of outdoor furniture, including a hammock and hanging swing chair.
* Skylights over staircase & kitchen
* Attached two-car garage with plenty of storage
* 70” TV in the family room with surround sound & AV receiver, and 2 additional TVs (one in bedroom, one in exercise room)

* Our living room is currently converted into a playroom, but can be converted back depending on needs. Plenty of toys and playthings for children, but can be packed up as needed. Neighborhood is quiet and safe, with no through-traffic, perfect for young children.
