Description

Nestled in the heart of Rochester’s highly sought-after Park Avenue neighborhood, this charming 1914 American Foursquare beautifully blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. The inviting living room serves as the heart of the home, featuring elegant stained and leaded glass windows that fill the space with warm natural light. The gorgeous kitchen features high-end stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, a porcelain farm sink, coffee bar & seated center island with wine fridge! The dramatic arched window overlooks the back garden, while the formal Dining room, with window seat & box beamed ceiling, is the perfect place to host all your guests. The second floor boasts four spacious bedrooms and 2 full baths, including a stunning main bath with heated floors, walk-in glass shower & a free standing jetted soaking tub. The primary bath has been recently renovated, with dual access from both the primary bedroom and adjoining second bedroom, creating a versatile layout ideal for a private primary suite, or convenient shared access. The finished third-floor bonus room provides flexible space perfect for a home office, gym, playroom, or media room. Enjoy relaxing mornings on the welcoming front porch or entertain with ease on the rear deck overlooking the fully fenced backyard — ideal for gatherings, pets, or gardening. A detached 2-car garage adds convenience and additional storage. Located just steps from the shops, cafes, restaurants, and vibrant energy of Park Avenue, this exceptional home offers historic charm, modern comfort, and an unbeatable location. Showings to begin on Friday, May 15th, at 10am. Negotiations to begin on Tuesday, May 19th, at 4pm.
