This centrally located Cape Cod blends original charm with modern upgrades. The show stopper of this home is the living room boasting soaring vaulted ceiling and oversized & arched windows that flood the space with natural light, giving it an airy, almost cathedral-like feel. The arched doorways echo that architectural charm and create beautiful sightlines throughout. The painted brick fireplace anchors the room as a cozy focal point, perfectly balanced by the clean mantel. Soft neutral tones, warm hardwood floors, and generous living space make this living room feel both elegant and inviting—ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or curling up by the fire on a quiet evening. The flexible first-floor bedroom or office includes a convenient half bath and new carpet and overlooks the front porch. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms with refinished hardwood floors and abundant closet/storage space. The primary bedroom feels like a true retreat with multiple closets and an inviting, cozy vibe. Bedroom two adds architectural flair with a loft-style overlook, creating an open, airy connection to the living space below. The 2nd floor main bath has a tiled tub surround with convenient niche & a new vanity. The freshly painted basement includes glass block windows for added privacy and security and a dry storage wine/fruit cellar. Move-in ready and located minutes from downtown Rochester, cultural attractions, regional parks, and recreational areas, this 1600+ square foot home delivers suburban tranquility with urban accessibility. Its proximity to major expressways makes commuting easy, while nearby airports and amenities mean work, travel, and leisure are all within reach.
