9 perry lane

Discover a hidden gem of Shalebrook, a tranquil sanctuary on West Hill tucked away near the end of the Perry Lane cul-de-sac. While this special neighborhood remains unknown to many, it offers a rare combination of community and seclusion just minutes from Cayuga Health, downtown Ithaca, Cornell, and Ithaca College. A beautiful home solidly designed and built by the original owner, now on the market for the first time. Your experience begins at the covered front porch, leading into a home where luxury meets logic. The heart of the residence is a custom cherry kitchen featuring Corian countertops and a thoughtful prep sink overlooking vibrant flower beds. The space flows from a casual eat-in kitchen to an elegant formal dining room, which opens into the bright, vaulted living room anchored by a warm gas fireplace. Looking east, the property reveals its greatest treasure: amazing, panoramic views of Cayuga Lake and Cornell University, equally captivating the eye from morning through the night. The professional landscaping is designed for maximum beauty with minimal upkeep, allowing you more time to enjoy the views from both back decks. Inside, enjoy the consistent comfort of radiant floor heating throughout the entire home. The main-level primary suite serves as a true retreat, while the fully finished lower level adds three more bedrooms and a large family room with a wet bar. A standout feature is the private 1-bedroom apartment over the garage with its own entrance—ideal for guests, a home office, or rental income. Move-in ready and full of pride, this home is as rare as its tucked-away setting. View the 3D tour or experience it in person at the Open House this Saturday 4/25 11-1. Offers reviewed on Tuesday 4/28
