Description

Escape to your own private Finger Lakes retreat. This one of a kind chalet sits on 5.1 acres atop a peaceful hilltop with sweeping valley views, architectural character, and exceptional lifestyle amenities. With 4,397 sq ft of finished living space, including a fully finished lower level, the home offers room to gather, work, relax, and entertain. The house features outdoor uplighting and Sonos sound system throughout. The main level features a warm great room with a handcrafted stone fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and a loft overlooking the space. Radiant floor heating adds comfort and efficiency, complemented by hardwood flooring, tile bathrooms, and a travertine kitchen with granite countertops. The primary suite features a private bath and walk in closet, accompanied by two additional bedrooms, and a second bath, on the main level. One of the bedrooms is currently used as a private office, offering flexible living space. The lower level is designed for recreation and flexibility, featuring a dedicated home theater with tiered seating, movie recliners, premium AV equipment, projector, large screen, and sound dampening design. A separate home gym adds flexibility, along with an additional finished room currently used as a fourth bedroom. Built for year round comfort, the home offers three independent heating options: propane, a coal boiler, electric mini splits with heat and air conditioning. A whole home propane generator provides automatic standby power. Garage and storage options include an attached 2 car garage, detached climate controlled 2 bay garage with oversized doors, and connected cold storage. Outdoor living includes a full length paver patio with valley views, a stone fire pit area, a blacktop driveway, automated gated entry, and a home security system. Located in the historic town of Newfield, just minutes from natural attractions like Robert H. Treman State Park, Buttermilk Falls, Downtown Ithaca, Cornell, and Ithaca College. This places you close to culture, adventure, and the beauty of the Finger Lakes. This is more than a home. It is a private haven where every sunrise feels like a new beginning and every sunset reminds you why you are here.

    "The most common thing known in this town is “old home days” where the Newfield school hosts a night of food, fireworks, and even has a mini fair set up for the kids. Usually this lasts 3 days. "

    "Great place to reside for seniors over 55. Office personnel were not super friendly as we expected, however, I feel , perhaps, they were worried about my son and I being loud. Though we are in fact night owls....we don’t have parties and are very quiet. Have had no problems with the other tenets . Enjoy them all as well as different personalities. 👍🏻😊🙏"
