Stunning
Perfect property for a bunch of Cornell graduates in their 40s. Plenty of room and ample bathrooms - perfect in every way and an easy walk to both the commons and college town. It will be the top location of choice for years to come.

Interesting historic home with enough modern updates to please most. Easy walk to plenty of shops and restaurants. Useful kitchen for eat-in breakfasts or dinners. Easy drive to numerous gorges/falls. Very farm to table vibe in the town…
