1821 East Shore Drive | Extensively Renovated 3-Bedroom Home | Lansing Schools | 11 Minutes to Cornell

NOW COMPLETE — PRIVATE SHOWINGS AVAILABLE!

Thoughtfully reimagined. Beautifully renewed. Ready to be made your own.

After an extensive and carefully considered renovation, 1821 East Shore Drive is ready for its next chapter. Every detail has been approached with the intention of creating a home that feels fresh, welcoming, beautifully simple, and ready to become distinctly your own.

Situated on a beautiful 0.52-acre lot in the Lansing Central School District, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath, 1,165-square-foot home offers a peaceful setting just 11 minutes from Cornell University and approximately 13 minutes from downtown Ithaca.

Far beyond a cosmetic renovation, the home has undergone extensive interior, exterior, structural, and mechanical improvements, thoughtfully combining the character of an established property with the comfort and convenience of modern updates.

Improvements include updated roofing, new siding, substantial insulation upgrades, select new windows, a new furnace, extensive plumbing improvements, updated electrical switches and outlets, reconstructed subfloors and structural framing where needed, and new flooring throughout.

Inside, fresh white walls, abundant natural light, and carefully selected finishes create a bright, inviting atmosphere. Premium COREtec luxury vinyl plank and tile flooring brings warmth, durability, and continuity to the main living spaces, while new carpeting adds softness and comfort to the bedrooms.

The heart of the home is its completely redesigned kitchen, featuring an open, functional layout, custom cabinetry, beautiful Black Pearl granite countertops and island, a gunmetal undermount sink, and new appliances. The combination of timeless finishes and thoughtful functionality creates a space equally suited to everyday living and entertaining.

Rather than imposing a particular design aesthetic, select finishing elements—including the kitchen backsplash and primary bedroom accenting—have intentionally been kept neutral, offering a beautiful foundation for personal expression without the need to undo someone else’s choices.

The home offers three bedrooms, including an exceptionally spacious primary bedroom measuring approximately 20’ × 13’, complete with two generous closets. Its size and layout offer possibilities beyond a traditional bedroom, with ample room for a private sitting area, creative studio, home office, or combination bedroom and lounge. Two additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family, guests, or work-from-home needs.

The completely renovated bathroom features all-new plumbing, updated fixtures, and a luxurious 19-inch-deep soaking tub with shower, creating a comfortable space for everyday relaxation.

Outside, the home has been thoughtfully refreshed with warm neutral siding, natural cedar-shingle accents, crisp white trim and entry door, contrasting black hardware, and a rich Urbane Bronze foundation and entry. Fresh landscaping complements the natural surroundings, while the usable 0.52-acre property provides space to garden, entertain, relax, or simply enjoy the outdoors. A private back patio and newly constructed entry deck offer additional opportunities to enjoy the setting.

With extensive renovations complete, 1821 East Shore Drive presents a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a beautifully updated home in the Lansing Central School District, conveniently located near Cornell University and downtown Ithaca.

A home thoughtfully prepared for its next owner, with room to make it entirely your own.

Private showings are now available by appointment. Pre-approved purchasers and private buyers are welcome.
