317 W 1st St, Corning, NY 14830

Imagine relaxing on your deck while taking in sweeping views across the Corning valley—yet still walkable to Market Street, Wegmans, and everything downtown Corning has to offer. Perched on Corning's desirable Southside Hill, this classic two-story home combines scenic surroundings with one of the city’s most convenient locations, offering both the charm of hillside living and easy access to everyday amenities. Inside, the first floor offers a flexible and functional layout with a traditional living room, a separate den that works well as a second gathering space or home office, a dining room, and a kitchen with good natural light. The home has been well kept over the years and remains tidy and comfortable, while offering the chance for cosmetic updates to suit your personal style. Upstairs you’ll find two full bedrooms along with a smaller third room that could serve nicely as a nursery, office, or potential third bedroom depending on your needs. A full bath completes the second floor. One room has a minor cosmetic repair needed from a past window A/C installation. Some key updates provide peace of mind, including quality double-pane replacement windows throughout and a high-efficiency heating system that has been consistently serviced. The roof is approximately 20 years old and still has many years of useful life remaining. An unfinished basement provides laundry and additional storage space. One of the standout features of the property is the additional included lot, creating a larger and more usable yard than many homes in the neighborhood. The extra space opens up possibilities for gardening, recreation, or future improvements. The property also backs up to an alley, providing convenient access and potential for off-street parking or even a future garage if desired. With scenic views, a walkable Southside location, and solid fundamentals already in place, this home offers a comfortable starting point today with the opportunity to update and make it your own over time.
