## Description

### Agent Description
Live where water, woods, and Cornell traditions meet along the banks of Fall Creek in Ithaca's beloved Forest Home neighborhood. This bungalow offers the daily sights and sounds of Fall Creek just beyond your windows, creating a setting that feels worlds away while remaining moments from campus and city amenities. First time on the market since 1983, this hillside ranch invites your renovation ideas to transform a truly special address. The open living and dining room features vaulted ceilings centered by a picture window overlooking the creek, creating a feeling reminiscent of being inside a ship's cabin-surrounded by light, sky, and the ever-changing movement of water below. It's a space where you can watch the seasons unfold like a living landscape painting. The main level includes a primary bedroom with bath just off the galley kitchen, while a second bedroom overlooks protected land of the Cornell Botanic Garden, offering the added benefit of no close neighbors along that boundary. The lower level provides laundry and mechanical space, additional storage & workshop space, plus a third bedroom and second full bath. This third bedroom features its own exterior walk-out to the backyard along with separate exterior stairs leading to parking-ideal for flexible living arrangements or guest space. From this distinctive setting, enjoy the sounds of the Cornell chimes drifting through the air and easy access to nearby trails, Beebe Lake, and the expansive Cornell Botanic Garden and adjoining Flat Rocks area. Truly a beautiful scene of nature right outside your door! Co-owned with Cornell University via a CU Ground Lease through 2035, currently at $229/month. This property is selling AS IS, and buyers should complete their own due diligence prior to purchase. Delayed negotiations on any/all offers until Tuesday, April 28, 2026 at 12noon EST. Shown by advance appointment only - call your Realtor to get inside this week!
