Endless beauty describes this storybook home with features that mimic a Tudor Revival, including the arched doorways & prominent front gable. Three floors of character, craftsmanship, and exceptionally maintained space make this a home that will leave its mark on your heart. Timeless charm is paired with impressive improvements, including a substantial investment in the new, top-of-the-line roof with a 40-year transferable warranty, approximately 10-year-old furnace, upgraded electrical, newer on-demand hot water system, Andersen & Pella windows, professionally stained exterior cedar shakes, fiberglass insulation, and newly installed extra-wide gutters. What's not to fall in love with!! Original hardwood floors, an abundance of closets, and a wood-burning fireplace add warmth and personality at every turn. The main floor offers an updated eat-in kitchen, a cozy den with custom bookshelves, formal dining room with built-in corner cabinets, and an inviting enclosed sun porch. The finished third floor is an added surprise, offering a bedroom, den, and full bath—ideal for guests, extended living space, a private office, or creative retreat. The partially finished lower level adds even more usable space, along with a walk-in pantry, and unfinished bonus area with direct access to exterior of home. Outside enjoy the open porch that overlooks the expansive pristine manicured grounds. Custom playhouse with built-in bunk beds attached to the garage is sure to delight the littles, yet could just as easily become a charming gardener's shed. Set at the end of the road in a coveted neighborhood, this distinctive home combines the character you hope to find in an older home with the extensive improvements you want already completed. From its striking architecture and gleaming hardwoods to its beautifully maintained grounds and three floors of living space, this is truly a home with a story to tell—and a beautiful next chapter waiting to be written.

About Central West
Elmira
Central West Elmira, located between the Chemung River and the Elmira Corning Regional Airport, is a residential and civic Elmira neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a river-adjacent setting. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the West Water Street corridor near the West Elmira Fire Department, where corner storefronts, service counters, and everyday errands set a steady pace. Housing reads as early-to-mid 20th-century, with compact lots, front porches, and a mix of single-family homes and small multifamily buildings. The river edge and nearby parks shape a walk-and-pause rhythm, while the airport adds an open-sky horizon. Community touchstones include Eldridge Park’s historic carousel, the Clemens Center’s marquee nights, and the Arnot Art Museum’s gallery calm. Downtown Elmira’s grid sits close by for dining and events without changing the neighborhood’s quieter street feel.

This district is intended to create, preserve and enhance areas of the city composed primarily of single-family residences built at low or medium densities on quiet streets, but which were developed at a period of time in the past when lot sizes were somewhat smaller than those of more recently developed single-family neighborhoods. These areas are still stable and essentially in sound condition and should be protected from the intrusion of uses and activities incompatible with the character of a single-family area. Because of the older and more modest character of this type of neighborhood, a limited amount of uses not of the single family type may have found a place in the district in the past.
