A true 19th Ward showstopper, this exceptional home needs to be seen to be believed. Blending updated living spaces with distinctive historic character, it offers warmth, functionality, versatility, and charm rarely found today. Featuring four bedrooms and thoughtfully maintained interiors throughout, the home delivers exceptional value in one of Rochester’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
The fully renovated kitchen is a chef’s dream, highlighted by an uninterrupted thirteen-foot stretch of counter space providing abundant room for cooking, baking, entertaining, and gathering. Upstairs, the updated bathroom offers a spa-like retreat complete with a jetted soaking tub designed for relaxation and comfort. A fully enclosed & heated front porch serves as an additional living area filled with natural light and a peaceful garden-like atmosphere — perfect for morning coffee, reading, entertaining, or working from home. The back three-season room offers flexible living space and a strong indoor-outdoor connection. Above the garage, a private loft offers endless possibilities as a studio, office, creative retreat, or guest space. Outside, the property reflects rare history and charm. A 120+ year-old grapevine drapes across the brick patio, creating an extraordinary setting. The vine includes three grape varieties, and a previous owner made homemade wine from its harvest. A century-old pear tree and established herbs and wild strawberries enhance the garden feel. A fully enclosed backyard adds privacy and function.
Additional highlights include a full twelve-course basement with excellent ceiling height, offering flexible space for storage, workshop, fitness, recreation, or future finishing. Conveniently located near college town, local universities and hospitals, and a nearby K-6 Montessori school, this home offers character, history, and a true sense of home.
