- If you look at this page as a user, it will have a url (something like https://rosetreeithaca.com/our-co-ops/chaunceys-place/). In this URL, the page name is “chaunceys-place”.
- Find the page name for the page this tour is placed within.
- In the file manager, right-click on the folder you need to rename and select rename.
- Rename the folder with the page name for this page (e.g., chaunceys-place).
No new leases in 2024. It’s time. We are going to sell this beautiful house, and hopefully it will become a family home once again.
Chauncey Grant, founder and president of the original Tompkins County Bank, built this “Pillared Greek Revival” for his large family way back in 1835. The first-floor rooms are somewhat opulent (for conducting early Victorian business deals); the “family rooms” upstairs are more modest. The house was owned for most of the twentieth century by a local doctor who practiced into his eighties, with his office downstairs and family quarters above. Most recently the house housed a bookstore with apartments above.
We renovated the house in 2015-16, adding more bathrooms and new heating, air conditioning, electricity, plumbing, and solar panels. The original “gasoliers” have been rewired for electricity and the fireplaces have been capped off at the request of the Ithaca City Building Department. The new gourmet kitchen incorporates the 1920s sink and cabinets.
The private fenced-in backyard has raised beds and multiple patio areas, plus a large heated/air-conditioned garage “rec room.” Coffee bar in the kitchen or go next door to Shortstop Deli for a fresh brew. The bus hub is a five-minute walk.
