1349 taughannock boulevard

Discover the timeless appeal of one of Cayuga Lake's most extraordinary west shore waterfront settings. Tucked privately along the coveted shoreline, this classic 1932 lake cabin has remained in the same family for 97 years and is now being offered for sale for the first time, presenting an increasingly rare opportunity to own 281 feet of private Cayuga Lake frontage with a beautiful shale beach, a brand-new dock, and breathtaking panoramic water views. A gently sloping driveway provides easy year-round access, while mature trees and expansive waterfront create a setting that feels both peaceful and private, just minutes from Cornell University, the Ithaca Yacht Club, Taughannock Falls State Park, and downtown Ithaca. Inside, the home retains much of its original character. Rich heritage pine walls, milled from the property's own trees, a central wood-burning fireplace, expansive lake-facing windows, and a sprawling wraparound deck create the kind of timeless summer retreat that has become increasingly difficult to find. The generous eat-in kitchen features brand-new flooring and serves as the perfect gathering space with ample room for future updates. The flexible floor plan offers two bedrooms and one and a half baths, including a main-level bedroom and an upstairs bedroom with an adjoining sitting area or potential third bedroom with half bath. Nearly every primary living space is oriented toward the lake, capturing spectacular water views throughout the home. Whether you choose to thoughtfully preserve its vintage character or reimagine it into a modern lakeside retreat, bring your vision to a property where the setting is every bit as remarkable as the opportunity. Open House Saturday 10:00 - 11:30
