191 Orchard Drive, Rochester, NY, 14618

$70,000 has been invested in this home within the last twelve months. Now, you can take advantage of this unique opportunity! Bob Cornell "Signature" Renovation! One of Rochester's finest home renovation contractors, Bob Cornell, was hired by the owner of 191 Orchard Drive last fall to refurbish the exterior, re-imagine the interior and create a flexible, worry-free environment. As luck would have it - after the home renovation was complete - the owner learned she will be relocating out of Rochester. As soon as you pull up to the front of this charming home you will immediately notice the meticulous attention to detail. The exterior has been completely redefined with welcoming earth tone exterior color palate and a charming exposed brick & stone chimney on the right hand side of the house. The old roof was very recently torn off and a new roof installed! Multiple dormers and interesting roof lines give the front facade character. The dormer over the main door shelters a formal entry foyer. The second floor dormers pull natural light into the upstairs rooms. The front yard is notable for its vibrant plantings that cheerfully greet visitors as they approach the front door. The yard wraps around the east side of the house and continues well beyond the driveway & garage to the back yard. The back yard is protected by a hedge on the east side and a stand of mature trees on the south side. It's perfect for entertaining family & friends. Do you like a feeling of open space? Well, there are no neighboring homes immediately adjacent to this home on the north, east and south sides. It feels great! The formal entry foyer offers a large step-in closet storage area and opens up into the living room. The living room is filled with rich details including refinished oak floors that stretch from one end of the room to the other. A painted brick wood burning fireplace is the architectural centerpiece of this room. Gum wood trim accents every threshold. To one side of the fireplace is a built-in bookcase with leaded glass doors. The staircase to the second floor is enclosed by a charming French door. Three large windows in the living room face north bringing in soft, diffuse light all day long. Charm and character are everywhere! Off the living room through a gum wood threshold is an absolutely enormous great room & kitchen area that's entirely open! Space designers call this type of room "flexspace." Flexspace allows the owners to decide for themselves how to use this area. Some owners might use this as a traditional dining room. Others might use it as a home theater area or, when the occasion calls for it, a large entertaining space. If you or your friends have children, you might use it as play space while the adults are in the living room. Love to play poker, put it in the flexspace! Need a place for a VERY LARGE group to share meals on occasion? Put them in the flexspace! Flexspace = options. Options = extra value. The kitchen is a dream! Bob Cornell outdid himself on this one! The goal: create a super-efficent workspace with great storage and plenty of counters for cooking, baking and informal meals. Transform a dismal 1970s era space into a light, airy open, free flowing space. Add in a prep sink for easy entertaining. Accent the space with nice lighting. The solution: tear everything out and start from scratch!! Then, spare no expense. Use light materials like maple cabinets and a hickory floor. Add in a large island that can be used for informal meals, food prep and - BONUS - a serving table when friends and family are over. Awesome! The upstairs bedrooms are perfectly charming! The main bedroom is really quite large; large enough to comfortably hold a king size bed. This room also features THREE windows and a great walk-in closet. All the oak floors have been refinished. The main bathroom has been completely redone and a contemporary glass vessel sink with a quartz counter and a maple cabinet were added for architectural interest. Everyone needs some bonus space for informal activities like an art studio or a workshop, a media room or an exercise space or even an extra guest bedroom when you're really in a pinch. And wouldn't it be great if that bonus room had a extra powder room? You bet it would! Well, Bob Cornell and the owner thought so too. Bob renovated the basement and added a power room so that it's ready for you to customize exactly the way you want it! How often do you find a home with this much work already completed and then to have it SIGNIFICANTLY discounted?! This is a truly rare opportunity!
