Property Description

Own a piece of local history! A New York State historic marker recognizes this timeless farmhouse as the site where author Charles W. Sanders wrote his first speller. Equally compelling, over the past 25 years, the property has been lovingly transformed by a master stonemason whose artistry is evident in every hand-laid stone. His signature stonework serves as a unifying design element throughout nearly five picturesque acres, tying together the home's exterior, flourishing rock-bordered perennial gardens, and meticulously landscaped grounds. Every detail reflects a level of pride and craftsmanship rarely found today. Inside, the home's character has been beautifully preserved with finished original wood floors, hand-hewn wide-plank boards, exposed beams, slanted ceilings, and square nails that tell the story of its 1860 construction. Behind its historic charm lies a thoughtfully designed 1,447 sq ft floor plan with modern updates, featuring a main-level primary bedroom, two additional bedrooms and a bonus room upstairs, 1.5 baths, and a versatile space just off the kitchen ideal for a pantry or office. Completing the story is a classic red-and-white barn, thoughtfully converted into a high-ceiling rustic retreat offering over 1,300 sq ft of living space with two bedrooms and one bath, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or income potential. A detached two-car garage houses an impressive workshop where every tool has its place, complete with a cozy wood-burning stove and a second-floor studio space. Additional outbuildings provide opportunities for hobbies, storage, and agricultural use, including a wood-burning furnace capable of efficiently heating both homes during the winter. Perfectly positioned between Ithaca and Cortland, this idyllic setting offers peaceful country living with everyday conveniences just minutes away, an ideal backdrop for a home that honors its storied past, celebrates exceptional workmanship, and invites you to write the next chapter.
