CITY 29rochestercitynewspaper.com

The natural and man-made undulations of the

Genesee River may often be overlooked but

they have played a key part in the placement,

development, and character of Rochester’s

many unique historic neighborhoods.

Builders took advantage of one natural curve

of land just north of Riverside Cemetery to

create a quiet pocket neighborhood of modest

but well-preserved Colonial and Tudor Revival

style homes shaded by old growth trees.

The location also provides direct access to a

hidden treasure: the Genesee Riverway Trail

and its associated parks and historic sites. In

just a few steps you can be transported away

from the hustle and bustle of the city into a

peaceful, natural riverine setting.

The quaint, cedar shake-sided house at 87

Falleson Road sits idyllically on its corner lot,

complete with a one-car garage and classic

white picket fence surrounding a spacious

backyard. A unique wood front door with a

circular window welcomes visitors into an airy,

bright, enclosed front porch. A French door

can be closed to isolate this space from the

rest of the home, providing a quiet, pensive

area, well suited as a home office or study.

Just past the stairway, the living room boasts

original features lovingly preserved through

the years. The north wall retains a brick wood-

burning fireplace flanked by immaculate

built-in bookcases and original leaded glass

windows. A single, massive pocket door can

be smoothly deployed to close this room off

from the front entrance area and create a

cozy, warm space. As an added bonus, crown

molding frames the ceiling.

A large opening leads from the living room to

the back of the house where the dining room

is located. This room has plenty of space

for entertaining family and friends around

a good-sized dining table. The style of this

space creates a formal look, accentuated by

crown molding and a chair rail. The dining

room leads into a nicely remodeled kitchen

designed to maximize space and complement

the home’s original features.

Venture upstairs into the second floor

hallway and you will find a handsome, well

maintained built-in storage cabinet ready

to store your possessions in style. All

three bedrooms retain the original wood

floors and accents that give the house its

unique personality. The master bedroom

also features two closet spaces (one

enclosed, one open). The full bathroom

has been updated with tile floors and new

fixtures, while retaining original built-ins

for added storage.

87 Falleson Road offers approximately 1,346

square feet of living space, plus a full attic and

full basement, and is listed at $92,900. Tours

can be arranged by contacting Joy Wilcox of

Nothnagle Realtors at 585-746-1404.
