Convenient to everything! Our "Ithaca Urban Retreat" is a 2-bedroom, 1-bath upstairs apartment in a 2-family house located in a downtown neighborhood. Ideal for family visits to Cornell or to Ithaca College.
The apartment reflects both authentic country charm, while providing updated amenities of a modern city apartment! The "country" shows through in the newly-painted original wood floors, the antique kitchen baking cupboard as well as other interesting 19th furniture pieces found in houses of this era in Central New York. These furnishings have been complemented tastefully with new ones and accented with loved items to help you feel at home.
You have two private entries to the upstairs apartment--one off the front porch and the other up the back stairs to your own deck and back door. Internet speed tested at 81Mbps.
We enjoy meeting you, but only if you have the inclination... Please text if you have questions or concerns! We live nearby, and are available if needed.

The Northside neighborhood is a triangle defined be Gimme Coffee to the southeast, Purity Ice Cream to the southwest and the ScienCenter to the north. It is unique in a number of ways: Like the nearby Fall Creek neighborhood, it is conveniently close to many of the attractions of Ithaca and yet remains distinctly residential in flavor. The Northside typically has lower density per acre than the other downtown neighborhoods; which translates into more open space between houses and larger gardens surrounding them. Historically it was an entry point for many immigrant families moving into Ithaca and remains the most ethnically and economically diverse neighborhood in the city today. In the context of Ithaca's recently approved Comprehensive Plan, it anticipates many future-oriented goals; pedestrian-friendly, affordable housing, mixed use buildings, good bus service, neighborhood-oriented retail on its perimeter, good-access to parks and other recreational opportunities. Many young families are choosing to make the Northside their home.
Ithaca is very walkable and is the preferred way of getting around! There is plenty of parking available on the street if you have a car. T-CAT bus service is just a block away to take you up the hill to Cornell or downtown (& transfer to most anywhere.) Bikes can be rented through commercial businesses as well as the Youth Bureau's rent-a-bike program located near Stewart Park.
Located in Ithaca, this vacation home is in the city center. Shoppers can check out Ithaca Commons, while everyone can enjoy the natural beauty of Buttermilk Falls State Park and Cayuga Lake. Traveling with kids? Consider Sciencenter and Puddledockers.
