| 1BR/1.0BA | 1 bed | 1 bath | $1,900 /mo | 1 unit available | View of 360 virtual tour of this apartment: https www klapty com tour U3q0G1fO9Y This apartment sits on the top floor of our building on the west shore of Cayuga Lake, about a 10-minute drive from both Cornell and Ithaca College. The water is the first thing you notice. The living room and enormous enclosed porch both look out over the lake, and the view changes with the season, sailboats on the water in September, ice forming along the shoreline by January. The property includes its own dock, and residents can swim right off it once the weather warms up. That kind of lake access is hard to find anywhere else in Ithaca unless you own waterfront property yourself. Hardwood floors run throughout the apartment, and there’s a fireplace in the living room. The kitchen has a dishwasher and a microwave. Rent here is unusually inclusive for a lake property. Heat, gas, and water are all covered. The only utility you’re responsible for is electric, meaning lights and anything you plug in. Internet is available if you would like it. Coin-op laundry is on-site, and parking is free. This is a no-pets, no-smoking building, and maintenance and customer service are available 24/7. |
