Ithaca Arts & Crafts Home with a Literary Pedigree

The quintessential Ithaca home -- 3 BR, 2 Bath Arts & Crafts with a Literary Pedigree. Built in 1928, it comes with a backstory: Carlos Fuentes – Mexico’s greatest writer and candidate for the Nobel Prize – lived here in 1987, and wrote his acclaimed novel, Christopher Unborn in the 2nd floor leafy study overlooking the back yard.

In addition to flashes of inspiration, this is a home with real character AND the perfect location!

While you're waiting for your muse to strike, unwind on the Front Porch or the Deck, enjoy Sunset and Winter Lake Views, take an easy stroll to Cornell's Art Quad, Ithaca Falls or downtown.

LIGHT and SPACE! Original Woodwork, French Doors and Hardwood Floors throughout. Large Living Room with a Gas Fireplace. Eat-in Kitchen opens to Covered Deck with Grape Arbor. Comfortable Bedrooms. TWO offices: 2nd floor Study plus a 3rd floor study with spectacular views.

Plenty of storage with deep closets and a dry basement. Newer High Efficiency Furnace with air purifier. 200 Amp electric. Garage. Off-street Parking for 2 cars.

Fenced Terraced Yard with Star Magnolia and Flowering Pear Trees, peonies, myrtle, day lilies and more. Fall Creek Elementary School.
