Standing as a monumental architectural anchor along one of Tioga County’s most prestigious residential corridors, this extraordinary 4,236-square-foot historic estate at 416 Chemung St is a signature statement property in Waverly, New York.
Offered at $579,000, this grand six-bedroom, three-full-bathroom Italianate/Victorian brick manor, constructed in 1869, sits commandingly on an expansive 1.30-acre village lot.
Masterfully bridging Gilded Age volume with high-end contemporary comfort, the estate pairs soaring post-Civil War room proportions and intricate exterior masonry with comprehensive modern capital updates—including ductless mini-split climate systems, fully renovated bathrooms, second-floor laundry facilities, an expanded chef’s kitchen, and a brand-new concrete driveway.
The residence delivers an unforgettable street presence, framed by stately brickwork, elaborate entry porticos, and broad porch verandas. Inside, the grand 4,236-square-foot interior is defined by deep spatial scale, soaring vertical ceiling clearances, and an abundance of oversized window banks that flood the primary common and private chambers with rich natural light.

Key Features & Preservation Value Points Explained
🏛️ Rare 4,200+ Square Foot Scale on Over an Acre in Village Limits: Finding a historic brick manor that offers over 4,200 square feet of conditioned space and over 1.3 acres of private land within a walkable village setting is an extraordinary real estate anomaly. The expansive acreage guarantees long-term privacy and offers room for outbuildings, pool additions, or extensive gardens.
❄️ Turnkey Mini-Split Climate Infrastructure: Retrofitting whole-house air conditioning into a 19th-century brick structure often costs tens of thousands of dollars. Having multi-zone ductless mini-split units fully installed eliminates one of the most significant mechanical risks from an incoming buyer’s budget.
🛋️ Main-Floor Bedroom Suite Flexibility: The inclusion of a full bedroom and bathroom on the main level ensures long-term accessibility, serving seamlessly as a primary suite, guest quarters, or an executive home office setup.
📍 Strategic Southern Tier Commuter Gateway: Located on Chemung Street, residents enjoy a connected, picturesque lifestyle inside Tioga County. Walk or drive in minutes to Waverly’s historic downtown shops, local dining, schools, and nearby Sayre, PA medical complexes (including Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital), while maintaining rapid transit links via I-86 / Route 17 for a direct 20-minute commute to Elmira, Corning, or Binghamton regional hubs.
