The New York Property: c. 1900 Historic

Some turn-of-the-century houses are remembered for ornate woodwork or grand staircases; others stand out because their original layouts still offer practical possibilities more than a century later.

308 Mount Zoar Street is a two-story, wood-sided property built in 1900, now configured as a two-unit residence with the potential to appeal to buyers interested in historic housing and rental income.

308 Mount Zoar St, Elmira, NY 14904 | Offered at $69,000

4 Bedrooms | 2 Full Bathrooms | 1,931 Sq Ft | Built in 1900 | 0.34 Acres

The downstairs apartment contains one bedroom and is already occupied by a long-term tenant, while the upstairs unit offers three bedrooms and a screened-in porch—a modest outdoor retreat that adds another layer of character to the home.

Separate laundry hookups for each unit and ample parking make the arrangement practical, while the full basement provides additional storage space.

The property’s most intriguing feature may be the two-story barn, a substantial companion structure that offers storage and possibilities for future use, subject to its condition and applicable requirements.

With approximately 1,931 square feet of living space on a 0.34-acre lot, the property offers a different kind of old-house opportunity: not simply a place to admire the past, but a historic-era building whose existing two-unit arrangement can serve a practical purpose today.

Listed at $69,000, 308 Mount Zoar Street invites a buyer to look beyond its unassuming exterior and recognize the possibilities in its age, separate living spaces, long-term tenancy, and traditional barn—a property whose next chapter could be shaped by someone who appreciates both old buildings and their continued usefulness.
