1062 Exchange Street Rochester NY 14608 MLS #R1675262

A BLOCK AND A HALF FROM THE GENESEE RIVERWAY TRAIL, ON ONE OF EXCHANGE STREET’S MOST DESIRABLE BLOCKS, SITS A HOME WITH A STORY YOU WON’T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE. Originally built in the 1920s, this home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt by the renovator credited with helping transform this stretch of the neighborhood—and of every home he restored here, this is the one he chose to keep. Built with old-growth, thick-cut pine framing and original hardwood floors from Rochester’s finest era of millwork, its historic character was preserved while nearly everything behind the walls was modernized. Original woodwork, the impressive staircase and generous room sizes highlight the craftsmanship. The rare layout offers 4 BEDROOMS AND 3 FULL BATHS, including a FIRST-FLOOR BEDROOM AND FULL BATH—ideal for guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the primary suite features a private full bath and walk-in closet, a rarity in Rochester’s historic homes.
The oversized covered front porch welcomes you inside to refinished hardwood floors, a spacious living room with a decorative fireplace, and a large eat-in kitchen with solid wood cabinetry, butcher-block countertops, breakfast bar, newer appliances including a gas range, and an adjoining dining area. Just off the kitchen, the rear mudroom leads to the deck and fenced backyard.
Rebuilt from the studs with all-new electrical, plumbing and ductwork, a newer furnace, hot water heater, insulated attic, durable metal roof (2017), and an OWNED solar array with no lease or loan. The dry basement provides excellent storage plus washer and dryer.
Enjoy a private driveway, mature shade trees, and garden space. The Genesee Riverway Trail connects you by foot or bike to the University of Rochester, Strong Memorial Hospital, Downtown Rochester, Corn Hill, and the Erie Canal Trail. Just steps away are The Refinery’s artist lofts and popular community night market. Turnkey condition, FOUR bedrooms, THREE full baths, a first-floor bedroom and full bath, a true primary suite, owned solar, and modern infrastructure make this a one-of-a-kind opportunity in Rochester’s 14608 ZIP code. Delayed negotiations due Thursday, July 23rd by Noon.
