24 High Street

There is nothing cookie-cutter about this sprawling bungalow, offering over 4500 sqft of living space and sitting on a .4-acre lot in one of Elmira's most prestigious communities. This home embodies the charm that locals have come to adore about Elmira. Located on a quiet crescent, backing onto green space and the Kissing Bridge trail, and just up the road from the splash pad and playground at Bolender Park, this traditional home features original wood moldings throughout, as well as granite countertops and ornate lighting. Many upgrades have been done on the main level and exterior, while maintaining the character and grandeur of the era. The space could be reconfigured to accommodate more bedrooms. A double-car garage and parking for 8 vehicles could lend nicely to multi-generational living. Entering from the porch to the grand foyer, you are greeted with plenty of storage and natural light. The main area flows seamlessly through the living room, formal dining room and kitchen, which stretches into a casual eat-in with a walk-out to the back deck and patio. The renovated laundry room and bathroom are tucked around the corner and lead to the garage. Three expansive bedrooms are located on the other side of the main level, two of which lead outside to the private, sun deck. The primary has an ensuite, walk-in closet, and gas fireplace. The basement is where the party is. A retro wet bar, which could easily be converted to a second kitchen, tiled dance floor, indoor garden, two fireplaces, poker room, wine cellar, and tasting room are some fun quirks. The rec room is the perfect spot for gaming and relaxing. A convenient powder room and a large utility room with ample storage are located on this level. The backyard features mature trees, and a large shed, which was likely intended as a pool house, with a wet bar and mini fridge. Don't let this rare opportunity to live in this community pass you by. Furnace, AC, Reverse Osmosis, Windows all less than 5 years old.
