97 Croydon Road, Rochester

Description: Welcome to this beautifully maintained and lovingly cared-for home that blends thoughtful modern updates with the timeless character of Rochester’s historic Browncroft neighborhood.  The gorgeous porch, complete with a ceiling fan and warm lighting, offers the perfect place to relax and enjoy a summer breeze. The front porch windows were professionally reconditioned with new sashes, brass weather stripping, custom wood-framed storm windows and screens, preserving their original historic appearance. Inside, you’ll find distinctive touches designed for everyday comfort and convenience, including upstairs laundry, a central vacuum system on all floors including the exterior of the house, gas fireplace, and a gas range with an electric double oven complete with a pot filler with a copper drain sink. The house is also pre-wired for Greenlight internet. The first-floor original hardwoods were professionally refinished in 2021, highlighting the home’s warmth and character. Major exterior improvements include a new driveway in 2021, exterior painting and new gutters in 2022, and an updated synthetic deck in 2023. The roof received a complete tear-off in 2015 and was replaced with architectural shingles.  A private balcony, accessed exclusively through the master bedroom is great for evening sunsets. The backyard boasts three separate deck areas, perfect for entertaining and is surrounded by a mature secluded garden with tall, full trees and a privacy fence.  Rich in charm, filled with useful upgrades and has clearly been cared for over the years, this special home offers an incredible opportunity to become part of the Browncroft Historic District.
