This home was lovingly built in 1948 by a master craftsman for his daughter according to her design. That design included a vision of an iconic and yet livable home with classic beauty and practical features such as an abundance of storage spaces, a cedar closet, and a laundry chute.

 

The home includes 4 bedrooms and 2 remodeled baths in 1909 sq. feet. It sits on a beautiful .59 acre lot. We are the second owners of this home and we have enjoyed its beautiful vintage details which resemble an article in “Cottage Living” magazine. It has a full, daylight, walkout basement with its’ own door to a private, wooded, forever wild backyard.

 

This yard features a well-planned variety of mature trees including honey locust, maple, butternut, red and white oak,  japanese maple, black walnut, a wisteria arbor and a forsythia hedge. Decades of ground covers composed of pachysandra, lily of the valley. periwinkle, fern and forget-me-not form a backdrop for labor free gardens. This yard is a favorite of birds and wildlife. A large private patio is a perfect place to enjoy the truly park-like setting and to entertain in the evening and roast marshmallows with the children in the outdoor fireplace.

 

The home is located in a mature, quiet neighborhood a short walk or bike ride to the canal towpath. From there it is about one and a half miles north to the Fairport Village. Fairport is a great place to live. It has excellent schools. The house is in the Fairport electric zone. The town features a recreation center which has three indoor swimming pools and a fun water park, Fairport Canal Days is a popular event that draws thousands of people with its food tents and live music venues. It is a favorite town for home ownership. The property coming up for sale at this time is an opportunity to own a unique home in a very popular area for an affordable cost before interest rates rise.

The fireplaced dining room leads to a large sunken living room through stately French doors. The living room is completely clad in a beautiful architectural system of panels and moldings which is seldom seen outside of city mansions.
