A picturesque Italianate on Corning’s sought-after Southside Hill, this home blends historic significance with the comforts of modern living. Set among tree-lined streets within walking distance of Market Street and the Gaffer District, the residence has stood since the 19th century, with ties to some of the region’s most notable civic and industrial figures. Today, it remains a landmark of enduring architecture, carefully updated with more than $200,000 in thoughtful improvements.
The gracious exterior is anchored by a welcoming covered entry and balanced proportions that speak to its Italianate heritage. Step inside to discover a refined interior where historic character meets elevated finishes. A large, upscale kitchen offers high-end cabinetry, premium appliances, and an open, tasteful design. The owner’s suite is a true retreat, with a charming sleeping room, generous walk-in closet, and a 2019 spa-inspired bath remodel featuring brick accents, a soaking tub, and custom tile shower. An additional full bath has also been stylishly reimagined.
Practicality blends seamlessly with charm: a rebuilt front staircase with integrated storage, handsome built-in bookcases, and a fully reimagined lower level that adds a third full bath, new laundry, and a flexible room with egress windows and walkout that could serve as a fourth bedroom. Modern conveniences include newer appliances, hybrid heat pump water heater, parking off the alley, and an EV charging station.
Seldom does a home of this caliber surface, offering architectural pedigree alongside contemporary amenities. From your doorstep, enjoy walkability to downtown shops, dining, and cultural venues, with Watkins Glen, award-winning state parks, and the Finger Lakes region just 25 minutes away. This Southside Hill residence offers not only a place to live, but a chance to be part of Corning’s layered history—reimagined for today’s lifestyle.
