Property Description
Set behind a veil of mature trees on 6.58 acres in one of Rochester’s most coveted locations, this home is a rare offering that transcends the ordinary. Designed by architect John Howe, a chief draftsman and protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright, this remarkable residence embodies a distinctive architectural heritage rarely found in the Rochester market. Built in 1987 and cherished by the same owner ever since, the property has been thoughtfully preserved as both a private sanctuary and a reflection of its architect’s vision. Its setting is exceptionally private, surrounded by nature and expansive grounds, yet ideally positioned within a premier area of Rochester. Inside, six bedrooms and four bathrooms unfold across a residence defined by craftsmanship, natural materials, and enduring design. The main level showcases Howe’s thoughtful use of geometric forms and natural light, creating a distinctive sense of movement and openness throughout the living spaces. Philippine mahogany cabinetry and Kasota stone flooring bring warmth, texture, and a sense of permanence to the interiors, creating a home that feels deeply connected to its surroundings. The kitchen, completely remodeled in 2015, marries refined finishes with the functionality expected of a contemporary luxury home. Premium appliances are complemented by stone countertops, a pot filler, wine refrigerator, and warming drawer, creating an inviting culinary space designed equally for everyday enjoyment and elegant entertaining. The primary bathroom was also fully remodeled in 2015, thoughtfully enhancing the home while respecting its architectural character. Beyond the walls, the landscape provides an extraordinary sense of place. A private swimming pool is set against a dramatic quarry stone wall, creating a striking natural backdrop and an exceptional setting for summer gatherings, quiet afternoons, and entertaining beneath the surrounding canopy. There is a sense of permanence here that is increasingly difficult to find. The architecture, the acreage, the privacy, the craftsmanship, and the remarkable history come together to create something much more meaningful than a residence. This is an opportunity to become the next steward of a distinctive piece of Rochester’s architectural heritage, a property shaped by the influence of John Howe and the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright, and a truly special home that has been thoughtfully held by one owner for nearly four decades.
