Iconic Federal-Style Mansion in the Heart of Elmira
Step into timeless elegance with this beautifully restored Federal-style mansion — a perfect balance of classic architecture and modern luxury. From the graceful center-hall entry to the grand, light-filled rooms and soaring ceilings, every detail showcases craftsmanship and care.
The fully renovated chef’s kitchen impresses with marble floors, custom and antique cabinetry, stainless steel countertops, a Viking range, and a farmhouse sink — blending historic charm with professional-grade function.
Upstairs, you’ll find two stunning primary suites and three new custom-designed baths, including two with radiant heated floors for year-round comfort.
Outside, the home shines with a freshly painted exterior, restored portico, and a newer roof — all reflecting meticulous stewardship.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Elmira’s architectural history, thoughtfully updated for modern living.
