Property description for 716 Walnut St, Corning, CA 96021

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%.

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!

The character of Corning is exemplified by its slower-paced ambience. Corning is good for those who prefer quiet surroundings, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamor - although that is not the case near the railway line, the airport (Corning Muni) or I-5.
