This iconic elegant home on East Avenue has anchored the celebrated Park Avenue district for nearly a century. Designed in 1922 by Rochester Architect Herbert Stern, the historic mansion sits on a spectacular lot straddling Rochester’s Gilded Age thoroughfare. Inside are the architectural details from a long-ago era of craftsmanship meticulously and lovingly maintained with restored and updated technology throughout. The stone patio is ideal for a gala or a nightly dinner. Cosseted in mature plantings, the raised garden has a long established “white garden” that blooms all summer long. Living here, you are a short stroll from the most exciting eateries, cultural institutions, and historic streets. It’s an iconic house that people refer to as it maintains the cover of 200 Years of Rochester Architecture and Gardens. The home also has the convenience of an updated detached garage.
