367 W Church Street, Elmira City, NY 14901

Nestled on historic West Church Street in Elmira, this stately six-bedroom, three-bath home is a rare architectural gem that blends Queen Anne elegance with Colonial Revival charm. From its ornate facade with decorative shingled gables and patterned woodwork to the gracious period details throughout, the residence exudes a timeless grandeur. Tall chimneys, a steeply pitched roof, and elegant woodwork hint at the craftsmanship of a bygone era, while large windows invite sunlight to dance across spacious rooms. Despite its impressive scale, the home’s design feels welcoming and warm, offering both majestic presence and comfortable living – a true testament to Victorian-era sophistication. Steeped in history, this home was once owned by Guy Shoemaker, a prominent figure in the Standard Oil Company during the 1880s and founder of the Southern Tier Motor Company in 1906. Few properties can boast such distinguished provenance which marry local heritage of Elmira’s golden age with everyday comfort. At the rear of the estate stands a beautifully preserved carriage house – originally a barn – designed by the notable architectural firm Pierce & Bickford. Though no longer used for horses and carriages, this structure remains an enchanting feature, showcasing the same quality craftsmanship and architectural detail found in the main house. Its distinctive board-and-batten siding, gabled roof, and vintage barn doors add immeasurable historic charm to the property. The carriage house’s mere presence enriches the estate’s character, completing a setting that is nothing short of extraordinary. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Elmira’s rich heritage – a home where history, charm, and elegance converge in perfect harmony. The property is being sold “as is.”
