Sweet little late-1930s bungalow brimming with character, craftsmanship, and original charm in the sought after Belle Sherman school district. Beautiful original millwork and built-ins, classic light fixtures, divided-light windows, and newly refinished hardwood floors evoke a time when homes were built to last. A welcoming formal entry with twin coat closets opens to a gracious living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases and divided-light windows. The floor plan flows naturally into the formal dining room and a sunny kitchen, where charming original cabinetry and a vintage sink sit beneath windows offering distant southwestern views. Just off the kitchen, a three-season sunporch provides a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the changing seasons. A convenient den leads to two bedrooms and a recently remodeled full bath. Upstairs, a private third bedroom offers abundant built-in storage, including drawers, a desk, and cabinets, along with a recently remodeled half bath and generous, dry attic storage. The walkout basement includes laundry, workshop space, and an under-house garage. Recent drainage improvements and basement waterproofing add valuable peace of mind. The location is hard to beat: enjoy a short walk to East Hill Plaza, Cornell University, and nearby bus service. Across the road, the Pew Nature Preserve and its trails offer an easy escape into nature. A delightful blend of vintage character, thoughtful updates, practical spaces, and an exceptional East Hill location.
