About this home
Nestled along one of Rochester's most picturesque tree-lined streets, this warm and inviting 1905 residence captures the enduring character of the early 20th century while seamlessly incorporating thoughtful modern updates. Surrounded by stately homes, meticulous gardens, and a short stroll from Park Avenue's celebrated restaurants, boutiques, museums, neighborhood parks, and cultural attractions, this location is unmatched!
Step inside to discover a home where craftsmanship has stood the test of time. Much of the original natural beechnut & mahogany woodwork, including doors, trim, & architectural details, remains beautifully preserved—a rarity that allows the home's authenticity to shine. Rich quarter-sawn oak floors, built-in cabinetry, two sets of glass French doors & numerous vintage light fixtures enhance the timeless appeal & details synonymous with the era.
The elegant foyer is adorned with exquisite British wallpaper by the renowned William Morris company, a nod to the Arts & Crafts movement that complements the home's historic pedigree.
The gracious LR is anchored by a working gas fireplace, creating a warm gathering space, while the formal DR offers an inviting setting for holidays and entertaining alike.
Blending history with personality, the thoughtfully remodeled kitchen embraces a clever vintage/retro aesthetic, offering modern convenience without sacrificing the home's historic soul. A custom breakfast nook with built-in banquette seating and generous under-seat storage creates the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or casual meals by the chef!
A sweeping primary bedroom contains an ample WIC & the deco period inspired bathroom aligns with the pervasive character throughout.
Updates include a recent 1st flr powder rm, new HVAC system, refinished front porch w/mahogany steps, attractive landscaping along with a partially finished LL w/powder rm & 2-car garage.
More than a house—it's an opportunity to own a time-honored Park Avenue residence where original craftsmanship, tasteful improvements, and one of Rochester's most desirable neighborhoods come together in exceptional harmony! Delayed Neg. offers due: 7/1@2p.m....
