Welcome to this beautifully preserved 1920s Maplewood gem, originally built as the builder’s own residence and lovingly maintained by only two owners since. Distinguished by its rare chestnut and oak woodwork — much of it painstakingly restored — this home combines timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates. A double glass-door entry opens to a gracious foyer with original fixtures and crystal doorknobs throughout. The spacious living room features a wood-burning fireplace framed in brick with a decorative mantel and built-in leaded-glass bookcase. The formal dining room is a true centerpiece, showcasing period beams, plate rail, chandelier, and jalousie windows. Off the dining area, a new half bath and walk-in butler’s pantry lead to a remodeled kitchen blending vintage charm with convenience: refaced metal cabinetry, soft-close drawers, butcher-block accents, travertine-look tile, and stainless appliances. Upstairs, hardwoods continue through three generous bedrooms, including a full-width primary with dual walk-in closets. The updated bath offers new plumbing, travertine-patterned tile, a large vanity, and a beautifully preserved original medicine cabinet. The lower level offers a spacious basement with updated plumbing, laundry area, workshop, and abundant storage — a rare find for the city. A full walk-up attic with whole-house fan provides great storage or expansion potential. Additional features include central air, new plumbing, detached garage, double parking pad, motion-activated lighting, wired security system, and locking mailbox. Located within the Maplewood Historic District, this residence blends early-20th-century character with modern comfort — a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Rochester history! Offers due Tuesday, October 28th at 1:00 PM.
