About these devices

Flock Safety is a company whose plate-reader cameras are used by police departments, cities, HOAs and businesses. Its devices are usually solar-powered and pole-mounted.

CCTV cameras are fixed video cameras that record a street, building or other area.

About this 3 bedroom 2 bath house

A charming, 3 bedroom home in Downtown Ithaca is move-in ready! Just a few blocks from groceries, entertainment, restaurants and the heart of Ithaca, this house was completely renovated by INHS in 2003, starting from the foundation up. Here, you have the warmth of an older home with the peace of mind of modern updates, like central A/C! Step inside to hardwood floors flowing through the living and dining areas. A large first-floor bedroom and full bath offer flexible living, perfect for single-level convenience or guests. Upstairs, you'll find two more spacious bedrooms plus a bonus office or nursery space. Step downstairs to a full (800+sqft) dry basement with a concrete floor that provides plenty of space for storage and laundry - also has exterior access to make moving and repairs easy. Outside, unwind on the wide porch or entertain on the back deck, with steps leading down to a shaded backyard. With offstreet parking - up to 3 cars - this Southside home is a short walk to the library and The Commons, Wegmans and shopping, and lots of restaurants. Leave the car in the driveway and walk to everything downtown has to offer, or take the TCAT bus up the hills to Cornell, Ithaca college or the mall. A rare combination of affordability, character, and walkability — schedule your showing today.
