24 Helens Way, Ithaca, NY 14850

Have you ever imagined living in a secluded farmhouse embracing you in comfort, sized just right and nestled in a setting of woods, with a small wildlife pond and surrounded by fruit trees and berries? Or have you fantasized about being able to walk out your door and jump onto a network of wide, quiet trails that wind through open fields, past small organic farms and through deep, mature stands of trees for miles? Or living where the land around you is protected as a bird sanctuary offering an endless serenade. Or being able to escape the house and settle down in a remote cabin to write, create or simply be, with a warm wood fire crackling in the corner? And to have all of this within a 5 minute drive of the heart of Ithaca? Stop dreaming and come find it here at 24 Helen's Way in Ithaca's West Hill neighborhood. In addition to two bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, the downstairs features an open living plan plus an adjacent bonus room, office and half bath that could serve as an in-law space or main level sleeping. You enter a bright sunroom with it's own heating source and flooded with natural light, perfect for morning coffee.

Built by a local builder as his own personal residence, you'll find an efficient, very well insulated home with double pane windows, LED lighting and long lasting metal roof. A solidly built home awaiting it's next owner. It could be you.
