Lovingly cared for by the same family for many decades, this home is offered on the market for the first time in 50 years! Discover serene country living in this 3,000+ sq ft custom home, designed with warm natural woodwork, exposed beams (most harvested within sight of the house!), and thoughtful craftsmanship throughout. The expansive first floor offers an open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area—perfect for gathering—featuring custom wood cabinetry, abundant natural light, and a cozy wood stove that adds both charm and energy efficiency. Excellent insulation throughout the home, in addition to the wood stove, helps keep fuel costs low. Also on the first floor, a convenient mudroom, two offices (one easily serving as a fourth bedroom), a full bath, and a dedicated laundry room enhance both comfort and functionality. A full basement provides even more versatility—ideal for storage, hobbies, a workshop, or future expansion. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a full bath with dual access from both the bedroom and the hallway. An open loft area and two additional bedrooms complete the second floor, including one with an attached storage room that could double as a charming nursery or creative flex space. Set on two peaceful acres, this property is built for those who crave privacy and connection to nature. Enjoy panoramic, miles-long views from the covered back deck, tend to established gardens, and unwind in the hand-hewn log cabin sauna. A generous garage with an attached storage shed and fenced-in dog kennel add even more practicality. House roof is only 4 years old and the garage/shed roof is 5 years old. Located in the Trumansburg school district and a convenient central location—13 minutes to Trumansburg, 20 minutes to Ithaca or Watkins Glen. A true retreat from the hustle and bustle—efficient, inviting, and full of character. Open House Saturday (Jan 10th) 11:30 - 1:00!
