This exceptional Swiss chalet style duplex located in the Cornell Heights Historic District, once a site of the silent film series Beatrix Fairfax (1916) during Ithaca's heyday as a silent film capital, was built in 1914 for Comstock Publishers. It later became Cornell University Press.

The upstairs apartment has 2 generous suites w/ access to the balcony. The downstairs apartment has three bedrooms, a sweeping kitchen and generous living room. Located only blocks from the Cornell Campus and the Suspension Bridge. Projected '23-'24 rental income of $70, 800. 2022 Certificate of Compliance; tenants pay heat and parking fees ($100/mo each, 2 spots).
