Located in the hamlet of Brooktondale, this inviting 4 bedroom, 2 bath home offers the perfect blend of convenience and a peaceful, natural setting. Just minutes to the Ithaca Commons and Cornell University, and even closer to Shindagin Hollow State Forest, Brookton’s Market, and local trails and swimming holes, the location makes everyday living easy while keeping you connected to nature.

Warm, light filled interiors offer comfortable, flexible living space with a main living area and dining space overlooking the backyard.

    "It is a very easy commute to downtown. Slightly more to the colleges. I consider commutes under 15 minutes to be easy though. I know Ithacans complain about traffic at the “octopus”, but that’s only because most of them have never seen traffic."
