Nestled in the rolling hills and scenic meadows just outside of Ithaca, this charming early 19th-century home—once District School #2—has been thoughtfully transformed from a one-room schoolhouse into a spacious and inviting residence. Taken down to the studs and rebuilt within the past 20 years, it blends original charm with modern comfort, featuring high ceilings, a classic brick wood-burning fireplace, and the original school bell. The large country kitchen offers abundant white cabinetry, expansive dark granite counters, and a generous eat-in dining area perfect for gatherings. A bright and open living room with a wall of windows centers around the fireplace, while a separate family room with a coal stove and more windows captures afternoon light and breezes. Down the hall are two well-sized bedrooms, including a two-room primary suite with a private deck, hot tub, and sweeping views of the beautifully maintained 9+ acre property. The flexible layout allows for an easy conversion to a third bedroom or office. Enjoy landscaped gardens, expansive lawn space, deep woods ideal for hiking or camping, and a serene spring fed pond visible from the rear deck—stocked with fish and frequented by a variety of wildlife. Be sure to admire the lovely country views that stretch for miles over the neighboring fields. A two-car garage plus a large attached free-span outbuilding with overhead and sliding doors provide excellent space for a workshop, storage, or animals. Set on a peaceful country road yet just 15 minutes to Cornell, Ithaca, and amenities, this well-cared-for property includes high-speed internet and numerous updates throughout.
