Welcome to this custom, artist-built home, a serene retreat just minutes from Taughannock Falls State Park. Often referred to as "the castle house", this modern French Tudor style home, harmoniously blends timber frame, stone & stucco, w/nearly every detail meticulously handcrafted. At the heart of the home, a spiral staircase is centered around a 50-foot cherry tree trunk, w/a banister made of green vine, bent into place & secured by hand-forged fasteners. The great room is a sanctuary under the soaring ceilings, stained glass accents & dramatic, marble fireplace. The EIK features hardwood floors, custom cherry cabinets, & concrete countertops. Upstairs, the primary suite boasts massive windows, a stone-surround walk-in shower, dual vanities & spacious walk-in closet. Outside, you'll find tranquility in the custom stone water garden, a wooden deck, and a covered gazebo. The two-story studio, built w/high-quality timber, fully equipped as an artist's haven, complete w/electricity, water, exceptional light, & double doors leading to a deck. Artistry abounds in every corner of this stunning home, across from Taughannock creek, 20 minutes from downtown Ithaca and Cornell University.
