This is the story of a home that came full-
circle. Built in 1920 as a single family home
in the Northland-Lyceum neighborhood
of Rochester, 108 Walbar Street was
converted to an owner-occupied double in
the 1950s. The current owners are using it
as a lovely, large single family home once
again, but retained the second floor kitchen.
The buyers of this property may choose
either route.
Single-family or double, the residents will
find a walkable neighborhood a block away
from Savoia Bakery and Fioravanti Florist
in one direction, and Donuts Delite in the
other. Nearby are Northeast and Northwest
College Preparatory High Schools.
A large red maple provides welcome shade
to the three-season porch spanning the front
façade. Classic 1950s metal awnings top the
windows and original front door. Inside, the
stairs to the upstairs rental unit are straight
ahead. To the left is a large living room with
a gas fireplace flanked by leaded glass
bookcases and two handsome windows. A
wide doorway leads to the dining room, which
has generous windows and extra storage.
The living and dining rooms boast refinished
hardwoods in very narrow “Rochester”
planks. Highlighting the oak is mahogany
inlay along the perimeter of both rooms,
adding a formal touch.
The first floor includes a full bath with
1950s charm. The kitchen is open and
bright, with newly-refinished cupboards
and new appliances. The original kitchen
window slides open horizontally, overlooking
a backyard full of roses, rhododendron,
clematis and perennials. The yard includes
a one-car garage and is fully enclosed by a
six-foot white vinyl fence.
A second kitchen occupies a former
bedroom on the second floor. A very large,
lovely master bedroom contains extra closet
space. A second smaller bedroom and full
bath (with original tub and hexagonal floor
tiles) round out the potential rental unit.
The attic is beautifully finished as another
bedroom or sitting room, while retaining
valuable storage space.
Several rooms have ceiling fans. The
laundry room is in the basement, which is
bright and clean.
No one knows for sure, but it is likely that
cedar shakes reside under the exterior siding.
Tell the truth: We got you with Savoia, didn’t
we? This 1,452 square foot home is listed
for sale with Jenny Popoli, RE/MAX Plus,
585-738-4795. The asking price is $95,000.
