The space Sparrow Creek is nestled in a quiet country setting on Ithaca's West Hill. Enjoy this house with the exception of the basement family room that has been converted into a small studio. This location is about a 15 minute drive to Ithaca Commons(4.6 miles), Cornell University(5 miles), and Ithaca College(5.2 miles). We have ample parking for 2 cars. The inviting back deck makes it easy to relax and unwind. Guest access You have access to the entire house except for the garage and basement family room. The family room has been converted into a studio apartment. The apartment has its own entrance and driveway on the other side of the house. Other things to note Most homes on West Hill have well water. This house has a sophisticated water filtration/treatment system that removes naturally occurring hard minerals from the water. Please be advised that sometimes the water may have a sulfur smell. This usually goes away by running the water in the bathtub for 5-8 minutes or so.
