Description

Set on nearly two private acres with 177 feet of prime Cayuga Lake frontage, this extraordinary waterfront estate offers a convergence of modern engineering and resort level luxury just minutes from Ithaca and Cornell University. Conceived as a legacy property, the 6,408 square foot residence was constructed with poured concrete walls, double insulation, geothermal lake sourced heating and cooling, radiant heated floors, and a lifetime-limited warranty Grand Manor roof, creating a home of exceptional efficiency and craftsmanship. A gated entrance and granite curbed drive lead to the lakefront residence, where stonework, copper gutters, and Marvin window systems establish a timeless aesthetic. Inside, four panel Marvin glass doors disappear into the walls, opening the great room seamlessly to panoramic lake views and outdoor living spaces. The custom chef’s kitchen is appointed with Sub Zero refrigeration, Wolf range and oven, Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, granite surfaces, and a handcrafted copper hood. Hubbardton Forge lighting, custom millwork, Sonos audio, Lutron lighting, and security and surveillance systems elevate the home throughout. Designed equally for relaxation and entertaining, the property features two wood burning fireplaces, a hidden wine cellar, recreation room with custom game table, lock out guest bunk suite with full kitchen, dual laundry rooms, and a primary suite with copper soaking tub, steam shower, waterfall views, and remote-controlled blinds. Outdoor amenities rival a private resort with a pergola featuring retractable shade, outdoor kitchen and shower, illuminated waterfalls and dock lighting, permanent boat and jet ski lifts, Trex docking, irrigation systems, and a custom porch swing overlooking the water. The deep water dock accommodates a 35 foot Sea Ray cruiser. The offering includes a separate approved parcel across Taughannock Boulevard, presenting future expansion or development potential. Offered turnkey furnished, with boat available separately, this is one of Cayuga Lake’s most compelling and irreplaceable waterfront estates.
