Built in 1876

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to own a designated piece of Rochester’s history! Built around 1876 by one of Rochester's founding and most prominent builders, Oscar F. Comstock for Miss Eliza Baldwin, according to historical records. In fact, some say he was among Rochester’s first real estate developers! This beautiful home combines original, historic details with a nod to all the modern conveniences you’re looking for and a nearly maintenance free exterior!! You'll spend hours on the cozy, enclosed front porch, extending the outdoor summer season. This historic beauty is decorated from top to bottom with immaculate attention to detail. Fabulous hardwood floors grace the entire main level. The large living room offers a great place to unwind at the end of the day. A dining area offers ample room for entertaining guests and is adjacent to the kitchen, featuring a work island with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of cabinet storage. The generous breakfast nook offers a great view of the grounds. There is a generous and beautifully decorated 1st fl bedroom which works wonderfully as an office. The modern ceramic bath has a newer vanity with granite counters. Upstairs offers three additional bedrooms that feature plush carpeting, architecturally detailed ceilings, and ample closets. An updated full bath services these bedrooms. There is extensive storage including a large walk-in closet with additional storage in the attic from a door in the back! The basement features a walk-out door to the fenced backyard and is clean and dry with loads of storage. The recently replaced retaining wall ($$$) offers a beautiful backdrop to your elevated backyard. Updates are everywhere you look, including a new A/C ‘23, new commercial gutters ‘22, a new water heater ‘16, and a newer roof. Just a short walk to all the restaurants and activities in downtown Rochester with tons of shopping and dining options. Exceptional Rochester schools! More features in docs!
