Charming 1912 Craftsman Bungalow – A Historic Gem in Ithaca
Step into this affordable and beautifully preserved historical Craftsman-style bungalow, designed by architect John Wilgus, nestled in the heart of Ithaca. Built in 1912, this home is a rare find, offering a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern potential.
As you approach the home, you’ll be greeted by a grand and elaborately designed front porch with a hand-painted floor, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the quiet atmosphere of South Hill Terrace. The carport and off-street parking are located on Turner Place, with easy access to the mudroom or down the exterior steps to the front of the house.
Inside, the main floor features dramatic high ceilings, original light fixtures, and large historic windows trimmed in rich Chestnut wood, detailed with stunning leaded glass. The first floor offers a spacious layout with a formal dining room, a charming kitchen complete with a wall of original built-in cabinets, and a large living room with a cozy wood stove.
