Description

Set in the coveted Lake Watch neighborhood, this impeccably maintained and stylishly renovated home blends timeless sophistication with modern comfort. From its elevated setting, panoramic Cayuga Lake views create a stunning backdrop to daily life. Every inch reflects thoughtful, high-end updates that make it truly move-in ready.

Step through custom double Pella doors into a beautifully refreshed interior featuring Restoration Hardware chandeliers, refinished hardwoods, and new flooring throughout. The natural gas fireplace adds warmth and charm, while the reimagined mudroom, with custom cabinetry, cubbies, and new tile, keeps daily life organized.

At the heart of the home, a showstopping kitchen pairs European craftsmanship with everyday function: Crown Point custom cabinetry, a La Cornue gas range from France, Miele appliances, Bosch refrigerator, Danby marble counters, Calacatta Gold backsplash, and Restoration Hardware lighting. A butler’s pantry and bar enhance entertaining, while a large Martin picture window frames the private backyard and garden.

Exterior and systems shine with a new roof, full repaint, HVAC upgrades, new AC condenser, Kinetico water softener, and reverse osmosis system. Enjoy the outdoors on the composite deck with InvisiRail overlooking the lake, relax in the Hot Spring spa, or admire custom stonework and landscaping.

Upstairs, the primary suite offers serene lake views, dual California Closets, and a spa-like bath with soaking tub and dual vanities. Additional bedrooms feature California Closets, and a “secret” pass-through connects two, an owner favorite.

Recent upgrades include seven Renewal by Andersen picture windows, perfectly framing the incredible lake vistas. With luxury finishes, modern systems, and breathtaking views, this Lake Watch gem offers refined living in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods, complete with the best sledding hill around!

  • Paul
    "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."

There are many reasons why homes in in Northeast Ithaca are in high demand."
