First time on the market in 50 years. Built by Frank Chase in 1971, this beautifully constructed home is being sold by the original owner and is both dramatic and comfortable. Located in a lofty locale on almost 3 acres above Varna, this contemporary offers panoramic views of Ithaca's west hill and, on a clear day, Cayuga Lake. The house has four bedrooms, a main level office/den, a large family room with brick-fronted fireplace, and two floors of sun-filled spaces. Red oak floors throughout. A very special property that is both a quiet retreat and with its expansive deck, bluestone patio, and bedrooms with balconies, a wonderful place to entertain, Full dry basement, two car garage, and excellent mechanicals including Weill Mclain boiler and new well equipment. Amazing sunsets!
