Come home to your private oasis, footsteps from Cornell University. A historic gem, 'Forest Home Lodge' served for many years as a guest house. From the chestnut staircase to the gracious porch overlooking Fall Creek, this home was custom built in 1910 for Ithaca's first judge and has been upgraded to operate on net-metered solar power, with mini-split heat pumps in every bedroom to keep you cool in summer and warm in winter, plus highly efficient air source water heaters in both homes. The location is unbeatable, nestled beside waterfalls and next to a peaceful park. Escape to the nearby Botanic Gardens or enjoy myriad world-class cultural and educational events hosted by Cornell. The third-floor apartment has a full kitchen and bathroom that can provide rental income or serve as a comfortable guest suite. Five bedrooms, three baths, living room, dining room, office, family room, and even a swing on the screened porch to watch the fireflies. All of this, with a monthly electric bill of less than $20 for the majority of the year!
