Canterbury Road is in one of Rochester's most desirable neighborhoods. It is just two blocks from trendy Park Avenue and all of its restaurants with sidewalk cafes, unique shops, and night life. A short, pleasant walk brings you to the boutiques and restaurants of Monroe Avenue, as well as the Monroe Branch library and YMCA. The house is around the corner from the Culver Road exit of the 490 Expressway, making it easily accessible to the entire metropolitan area. Just past the Expressway is beautiful Cobbs Hill Park with tennis and basketball courts, hiking trails, Lake Riley, playground, picnic tables and a beautiful view of downtown Rochester. School #23 is also only a few blocks away. For a Location Map, click the Show Map button (below right).
The PRIVATE ENTRANCE vestibule has a two-story cathedral ceiling, a rust colored Italian ceramic tile floor with artistic accent tiles, and a good-sized coat closet with mirrored bi-fold door. For security, there is an automatic timer on the outside light and double keyed lock on the newly replaced antique door. Light tan walls coordinate with a stained-glass vestibule lamp and a lighted stained glass window on the stairs landing. The carpeted stairs lead to a 12' x 10'6" formal DINING ROOM lit by a Tiffany-style ceiling lamp with dimmer switch, and the walnut stair railing forms a balcony overlooking the vestibule. Three tilt-in thermo pane double hung windows, with glass knickknack shelves above them, overlook the neighboring yards with a nice view of Cobbs Hill.
Next to the dining room is the brand new expanded 16� x 13� KITCHEN, with a practical and nice-looking brown tone Italian ceramic tile floor and white walls. The cathedral ceiling has a large 3� x 4� skylight over the working area. The 12 upper and 7 lower new Kraft Maid cabinets in golden oak include a lazy susan, rollout lower shelves and 5 drawers. The U-shaped oak-edged Formica counter top, done in an attractive brown tone leaf pattern, features an underlighted eat-at counter and an oak cutting board alongside the stainless steel sink with disposal. The white-tiled backsplash is decorated with ceramic leaf accent tiles. Appliances include a new white GE refrigerator and white/black gas stove, as well as a high commercial grade black KitchenAid dishwasher. Recessed lighting provides excellent illumination, and a modern hanging glass lamp lights the kitchen dining area, near an oak tilt-in thermo pane double hung window.
Directly across from the eat-at counter is a louvered pocket door leading to the handy new LAUNDRY ROOM / PANTRY containing automatic lighting, 2 upper and 3 lower shelved cabinets, and a bar sink set in a gray and brown toned Formica counter. A matching Italian ceramic tile floor and new white GE washer and dryer complete this incredibly convenient amenity.
The large 9' x 11' BATH adjacent to the kitchen has an old-style look in clean white with black accents in the Italian ceramic tile floor, and features its original old-fashioned claw foot bathtub, refurbished to look like new. There is also a fiberglass shower stall with massage showerhead, and a new pedestal sink. Over the tub is a partial cathedral ceiling with a new 2' x 4' skylight; and a full-length mirror enhances the back of the bathroom door. The faucet, towel racks, light fixture, door and drawer handles are all matching chrome & brass. A built-in linen closet by the shower has four large drawers and a cupboard for towels and toiletries. Additional linen storage is available just outside the bathroom door in four original built-in drawers.
The wide carpeted hallway with auto-lighting leads from the kitchen past the spacious bedrooms, one on the right, one on the left. The LEFT BEDROOM is 12'2" x 14'6", with two large windows overlooking the side yard and a tall red maple tree. The RIGHT BEDROOM is 12'10" x 14'8" with two similar windows overlooking the driveway side rose & perennial garden. Each carpeted bedroom has a fantastic 9' x 5'4" walk-in closet with new shelving all along one side, and bi-fold louvered doors; all walls, ceilings and trim are painted white.
From there the hallway opens into a classy 13'5" x 18'8" CATHEDRAL CEILING LIVING ROOM with a stunning ledge stone gas fireplace (switch-operated deluxe furnace grade) capable of heating the whole apartment in case of a power outage. Other amenities include a remote-controlled ceiling fan and dimmer light and a newly refinished original built-in bookcase with leaded glass doors along one wall. A wall switch at the room entrance controls the top half of the wall outlets for convenient table lamp turn on. An extra tall sliding glass door opens to a tiled porch with a beautiful brick archway and an original design cast iron railing, creating an elegant spot for a summer drink and conversation as you watch passersby enjoy this high-end Park Avenue area neighborhood. The 18'8" x 5'4" porch features a unique curved bead board ceiling with three cast iron lamps, and a sand-colored ceramic tile floor.
Other amenities include built-in cable TV hookups in four rooms, many electric and phone outlets, high-quality insulation for both quietness and warmth, OFF-STREET PARKING for one car and plenty of on street parking for another vehicle. There is no alternate parking on Canterbury Road, which is convenient because you don't have to worry about moving your car each evening. One-Year Lease with one month's rent security deposit required. Utilities paid by tenant, except for hot water, which is included.
This is a gorgeous place and a must-see. A realtor specializing in Park Avenue area rentals viewing this apratment said "If I were to rate this apartment on a 1-10 basis, I would have to rate it a 12!" Please contact Jerry Wolf at 585-734-5800 for an appointment to see it for yourself.
