Cheapish c.1900 Victorian Move-In Ready Home With Lovely Woodwork and Family History $69K

OHU50K Notes   $69,000

 

This move-in ready home offers six bedrooms, one bath. Plenty of bedrooms to make on into a second bathroom. The Victorian home has two gingerbread porches, built-ins, natural woodwork and wainscoting. Lots of archways, but that floor-to-ceiling kitchen cupboard is the showstopper. The home is two miles over the bridge from historic Elmira College.

Family History

 

Lucien Gooding, a conductor for the Pennsylvania Railroad, had this house built for his family, wife Ida, and daughter Bertha, sometime right before the 1900 US Census was taken.  The family lived in the home for 50 years until Ida’s death in 1949. Lucien had passed away in 1924. The couple owned the house outright with no mortgage, and they paid for Bertha to attend Elmira College, from which she earned a Bachelor’s Degree.
