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. Don’t miss it! Delayed Negotiations until Tuesday at 6pm September 29th, 2026. Come join us for an Open House Saturday 9/26/26 from 10am until 12 noon

Browncroft, located between Winton Road and Culver Road, is a residential and garden-focused Rochester neighborhood with early-20th-century homes and a signature springtime lilac canopy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Browncroft Boulevard and Winton Road corridor, where corner shops, cafés, and everyday errands create a steady street-level hum. Brick Colonials and Tudors line curving streets, with deep setbacks and mature trees shaping a calm, walkable feel. The annual Lilac Festival at nearby Highland Park sets the seasonal rhythm. Local pillars such as The Little Theatre, The Public Market, and Artisanworks add culture and weekend rituals beyond the blocks.

R-1
Low-Density Residential District
The R-1 Low-Density Residential District is intended to maintain residential areas at relatively low densities. The R-1 District is a distinct urban area that is characterized predominantly by owner-occupied, single-family detached and attached homes but often contains a diverse mix of other preexisting higher-density residential uses. Each R-1 neighborhood is unique in character, composition and scale. The district requirements are intended to preserve and promote neighborhoods characterized by unobstructed front yards and pedestrian-scale streetscapes and to protect against undesirable uses and residential conversions.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Religious facility
