Description

A true piece of Corning history, this circa 1840 residence blends timeless character with the space and flexibility suited for modern living. Set on a rare lot backing to the grounds of the former Houghton estate, the property offers an open, park-like feel that is seldom found this close to downtown. From its welcoming side porch and classic double-door entry to the elegant curved staircase, the home showcases the charm and craftsmanship of its era while thoughtfully accommodating today’s lifestyle. Inside, gracious living and entertaining spaces unfold across a versatile floorplan filled with natural light. The main level offers a warm and inviting living room with fireplace, a comfortable family room, a sun-filled formal dining room, and an eat-in kitchen with island and ample workspace. A spacious and highly functional mudroom adds everyday convenience, while a first-floor bedroom and full bath provide the option for single-level living or a private guest suite. A bright screened in sunroom overlooks the expansive backyard and raised garden beds, creating a peaceful connection to the outdoors. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms are complemented by two full baths and an office, along with a charming sun porch that captures morning light and neighborhood ambiance. The layout offers flexibility for a variety of living arrangements, including the option for a second-floor owner’s suite. The outdoor setting is equally compelling, with a stone patio, raised garden beds ideal for vegetables or flowers, and an open backyard framed by mature surroundings. From the front porch and select rooms, enjoy views of Market Street fireworks, while quieter moments are found on the screened porch listening to church bells on summer mornings. A garage accessed from the alley adds convenience, and hardwood floors throughout much of the home reinforce its warmth and continuity. Rich in history—the land once owned by Erastus Corning —this distinctive home offers a rare opportunity to own a property that blends historic significance, generous living space, and a truly special setting just moments from Market Street, local shops, dining, and the Finger Lakes region.
