Her client list includes a major Wall Street rating agency CAO, an S&P 500 company president, a National Academy of Sciences economist and IGO chair, an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, law school professors, and numerous professionals, artists and investors.  Due to her success in the luxury real estate sector, Margarita has received multiple sales awards, including Top 1% Sales Associates Nationwide in a major company.

Margarita developed a keen visual sense during her prior international career in the fashion industry.

Idyllic Ithaca Estate - $3,190,000

For the first time in decades the most magnificent estate Ithaca has ever known comes to market. As you enter through the iron gates, and approach through a winding driveway, the trees gradually reveal a stately stone mansion.

The main residence exudes a timeless warmth, with cozy fireplaces, stone arches, fine woodwork, grand rooms and intimate spaces - reminiscent of a manor out of a movie, filled with joyful conversations, chiming wine glasses and children’s laughter. As seasons transform the picturesque surroundings, the warmer summer months will invite you and your guests to sip rosé by the pool, relax on the sunny patios, or escape to the shaded ivy-laced gazebo.

Explore the exquisite landscape on which the home is set, meandering over 7 magical acres, across its bridges, gorge and trails.

Two guest accommodations, steps from the main residence, give your overnight visitors the privacy to also enjoy the property.

Seize this once in a lifetime opportunity to create your dream home, worthy of Architectural Digest in the environs of Cornell University, Cayuga Lake, waterfall walks, wineries, and all that the Finger Lakes region has to offer.

205 DEVON ROAD, ITHACA - PROPERTY FEATURES
* 7 Acres * 5 Bedrooms * 8 Bathrooms * 8 Fireplaces * 1 Swimming Pool * 2 Guest Accommodations
