708 Riverside, Elmira, NY 14904

Description

Step inside this charming 2-story home where classic character meets a long list of recent improvements. From the moment you enter, you’ll notice the beautiful original woodwork, hardwood floors, substantial trim, columns, and architectural details that give this home a warmth and personality that can be hard to find in newer construction.

The spacious main level offers plenty of room for everyday living and entertaining, with an open flow between the living and dining areas and an abundance of natural light. Outside, enjoy a covered front porch, a generously sized backyard, and a detached garage providing additional parking, storage, or workspace.

Even better, several significant updates have already been completed. The home was professionally bat-proofed by Bat Tech in March 2026, while Window World of Binghamton installed new basement windows, a new front door, and garage windows in March 2026. The kitchen features a new refrigerator and stove purchased in December 2025, along with a new washer and dryer added in March 2026.

Electrical improvements include the removal of second-floor knob-and-tube wiring, new light fixtures on the second floor and in the front room, bathroom and hallway, a dedicated electrical line for the dryer, updated circuit breakers, and an attic fan installation.

With its distinctive period details, usable outdoor space, detached garage, and substantial recent improvements, this home offers a great opportunity for someone looking for a property with character while benefiting from many already-completed updates. Bring your own style and make this one your own.
