The Ultimate All-Season Lake Home. Custom 4 BR, 3.5 Bath, 2426 sq.ft. Contemporary + Sleeping Cottage designed around privacy, light and endless views. 

This architect-designed retreat was built in 2019 with top-tier durable, energy-efficient materials and systems by the best of our local artisans. Core aesthetic is clean, crisp lines meets laid-back comfort – with the focus always on the lake views. 

Every room has a view! The house is sited on a bluff 50 feet above the lake. Outdoor living spaces include multiple vantage points for enjoying the changing seasons, changing light, changing colors of the lake and tree canopy -- including private decks, porches, patios and fire pit. Sitting by the fire at the water's edge is a whole different experience than the panoramic views you have from the bluff. 

Privacy on 1.44 acres. Just 86 steps to the level lakefront with a secluded landscaped patio and fire pit. There's a dock, boathouse and sail shed. PLUS there's convenient waterfront vehicle access and deeded pedestrian access from the neighboring Ithaca Yacht Club.

Ideal location: Just 1 minute to Ithaca Yacht Club, 2 minutes to Black Diamond Trail, 5 minutes to the Hangar Theatre & Cass Park, 7 minutes Taughannock Falls State Park, 10 minutes to Downtown Ithaca and 15 minutes to Cornell.
