Rarely does a property offer this much space, privacy, and versatility while still being located within Rochester city limits. Situated on over half an acre, this custom built 2023 home delivers over 4,100 finished square feet with 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a heated oversized 3-car garage designed to handle everything from daily living to entertaining and storage.
From the moment you walk in, the home feels expansive with soaring 9-foot ceilings, large open gathering spaces, and natural light throughout. The main level flows seamlessly with a warm and inviting living room centered around a natural gas fireplace, while the kitchen offers quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a layout built for both functionality and hosting.
The primary suite was thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind, featuring a spa-like bathroom, tiled walk-in shower, and dual walk-in closets. The fully finished lower level adds incredible flexibility with a massive family/theatre area, additional bedrooms, and bathroom space ideal for guests, entertaining, or multi-generational living.
What truly separates this property from nearly anything else on the market is the setting itself. Step outside to your private aerated pond stocked with fish, creating a peaceful backyard experience rarely found in Rochester. Whether enjoying the views, entertaining outdoors, or simply wanting more elbow room than typical city lots provide, this property offers a lifestyle difficult to duplicate.
The oversized heated garage provides excellent space for vehicles, toys, hobbies, and storage. Conveniently located near Rochester amenities while still offering privacy and room to breathe, this home combines modern construction with a setting that feels far beyond city living.
Additional opportunity available with neighboring shop building located at 1019 Chester Ave SE, Rochester, which is available separately for sale or lease.
