Built in 2016, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath ranch offers easy one-level living just minutes from Cornell, Ithaca, and Dryden. Inside, an open layout centers on a large eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and sliders that lead straight out to the backyard. Fresh paint in the living room and kitchen gives the home a crisp, move-in-ready feel, and the bedrooms are generously sized with walk-in closets. A large laundry room sits conveniently off the attached 2-car garage. Energy-conscious construction runs throughout, with 4-zone in-floor radiant heat, double-pane windows, on-demand hot water, and insulated concrete foam walls keeping the home efficient and comfortable year-round. Step outside and the real transformation begins. Since 2022, the backyard has been reimagined into a true retreat: a 16' x 16' deck overlooks the woods, a gravel patio with an outdoor bar sets the scene for entertaining, and a stair pathway ties the two spaces together. The expansive yard has some fencing and is newly screened with young trees for privacy, while a path through the wooded portion of the property winds to a secluded sitting spot tucked into nature — the perfect place to disappear for an hour with a book or a cup of coffee. Modern comfort, thoughtful privacy, and peaceful wooded surroundings — all within easy reach of Cornell, Ithaca, and Dryden. This is one-level living done right.
