Description

Perched atop a dramatic slate lined cliff 'above Cayuga's waters' and with a soring timber frame great room that defines the words"cathedral space," this state-or-the-art home is truly for the discerning buyer. It was loving handcrafted in 2005 with an eye towards beauty, sustainability, and comfort. The building system combines a traditional mortise and tenon joined Douglas fir timber frame with structural insulated panel construction providing unparalleled comfort and energy efficiency. It's 8,000 square feet (designed for entertaining with a second kitchen and butler's pantry) somehow seems cozy while the four stone fireplaces and warmth of the posts and beams and custom, quarter-sawn white oak floor create an atmosphere of peace. All of this beautiful wood is then relieved by local-artisan-crafted custome wrought iron balustrades. A gourmet kitchen (Wolf 6 burner range/Sub-Zero fridge/Woodmode cabinets) opens to a solid teak deck and stone patio. A stair system and lift to the lake are being installed this spring. A 400-bottle stone wine cellar and full-house automation (controlling television, music, lighting, on camera security system and air-conditioning) are included in a list too long to be complete here. Located in the town of Ulysses, a unique area of Central New York and part of the Finger Lakes Region. Ulysses is a vast country town just minutes away from the City of Ithaca. Cornell University and Ithaca College. The area is well known for its spectacular beauty and peaceful surroundings. Featured on the cover of Timber Homes Illustrated, June 2007.
