Traditional New England beauty and an excellent floor plan team up in this Hidden-Level House in Ellis Hollow just minutes from Cornell University Vet school. Though it appears to be a ranch, the hidden level is upstairs, where you'll find three generously sized bedrooms with hardwood floors and a full bath.
With a freshly painted interior just prior to listing, this home has stayed true to its original architectural design, and is set on a newly-fenced .63-acre level lot (fencing by Whitmore Fences!). This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers space, flexibility, and modern updates, with the bonus of income potential or multigenerational living. Cornell antique bricks were used for all the brickwork on the exterior of the home, walkways, entryway floor and fireplaces, possibly from the demolished Cornell library in 1960.
The brick fireplace anchors the spacious living area. The formal dining room seamlessly connects to the eat-in kitchen, and three season sunroom.
The lower level features a fully equipped apartment with its own private entrance, second fireplace, bedroom, and full bath — perfect for an AirBnB rental, in-law suite, home office, or guest retreat.
Step outside and enjoy the expansive, newly fenced backyard—a true private oasis perfect for outdoor gatherings or pets. The gracious three-season porch (not included in the 2,200 sq ft of living space) offers additional space to unwind and enjoy the view year-round. A stone patio invites summer grilling and entertaining.

Whole-house generator for peace of mind (Generac 16 kW backup generator was professionally installed).
