From morning coffee on the front porch to evenings in the backyard, this Corning Victorian home is filled with everything that make a house feel like a home. Built over a century ago in 1912, a distinctive 4-bedroom, 2-bath Victorian blends thoughtful modern updates with original character, craftsmanship, and architectural details from its era. Adding to its appeal is a unique financing opportunity: an assumable VA loan with an approximate $222K balance at 2.25%. Qualified buyers may also be able to obtain secondary financing for the remaining purchase price, subject to lender approval and qualification. 716 Walnut Street is a home that stays with you, offering a rare combination of historic character, modern updates with comfort, and opportunity.
The best of both worlds comes together here: authentic 1912 craftsmanship and charm that are irreplaceable and impossible to recreate, paired with many modern comforts and thoughtful high-demand improvements. Improvements include: electrical updates in the kitchen and downstairs bathroom, owned nem 2.0 solar installed in 2021 with even more value from the included charging outlet, and two mini-split systems installed in 2018 for comfortable year-round heating and cooling while further keeping energy costs low. Additional features include: a walk in pantry in the kitchen, dual-pane windows, a whole-house fan for evening and early morning cooling, LeafFilter gutter protection with a $5,000 transferable lifetime warranty, and a 50 year composition shingle roof replaced in 2016. Outside, the spacious lot offers mature landscaping, garden areas, side and back fences replaced in 2023, along with RV hookups, and a detached carport with private and exclusive alley access. 716 Walnut Street is a rare combination of character, updates, space, and practical amenities that delivers exceptional value from every angle!
Enjoy a peaceful country setting just minutes from downtown Corning, Woodson Park, I-5, and Highway 99. Offering the character and craftsmanship of its era coupled with thoughtful updates for modern living, this distinctive property offers privacy, charm, and plenty of space to enjoy. Come take a look. You may not get a second chance.
