1 Perry Lane Ithaca, NY 14850

Welcome to Shalebrook, a hidden gem on West Hill. This special lane, lined with curbs and winding gracefully through the hillside, offers a rare sense of privacy and community. Though many don’t even know it exists, the location couldn’t be more convenient—just minutes from the hospital, downtown Ithaca, Cornell, and Ithaca College.

The property’s greatest treasures are the views and the landscaping, which have been designed for beauty with minimal upkeep. Facing west, the home overlooks a wide grassy meadow, a picturesque barn in the distance, and the backdrop of Cornell’s hillside. Ithaca Falls can even be spotted, while sunrises, sunsets, and moonrises create a new painting in the sky each day. Outdoor living is at its best here with a multi-tiered deck and gazebo strung with bistro lighting—the perfect place to dine al fresco while the sky shifts through colors.

Inside, the home has been impeccably maintained and thoughtfully designed. A two-story foyer with skylights fills the entry with natural light, while oak hardwood floors flow into a spacious living room with two distinct seating areas, one centered around a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen is efficient yet stylish with quartz counters, tiled backsplash, and a functional island, along with distant views from the sink.

The main-level primary suite is a retreat of its own, complete with a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a flexible loft space ideal for a home office. The fully finished lower level, with eight-foot ceilings, offers endless options for a family room, hobby area, office, or play space, along with abundant storage.

Move-in ready and full of pride of ownership, this home is as special as its setting. The next fortunate owner will discover just how rare Shalebrook truly is.
