Some homes are purchased, others are entrusted to the next generation! Welcome to 25 Oak Lane an architecturally significant French Provincial residence custom designed in 1948 by renowned Rochester architect Carl Maynard. Nestled on an exceptional .89 acre lot in one of Rochester’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this one-of-a-kind home seamlessly blends timeless craftsmanship with everyday comfort. Offering 3,080 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 3 full and 1 half baths, the home has been lovingly cared for by only two families over nearly eight decades. Inside, you’ll discover remarkable architectural details including imported German porcelain door hardware, Italian marble flooring in the sunroom, original European plumbing fixtures, and a dramatic polished concrete staircase that serves as the centerpiece of the home. Designed long before open-concept living became popular, the expansive fireplaced living room, gracious dining room with custom built-ins, and thoughtfully updated kitchen create inviting spaces for entertaining and everyday living. The versatile upper level offers four spacious bedrooms, including a private guest wing with its own entrance through the garage. Step outside to your own private retreat. Beautiful perennial gardens, tranquil ponds, mature trees, two inviting patios, and a charming apple tree create an extraordinary outdoor setting that feels worlds away while remaining just minutes from everything Rochester has to offer. Pittsford School District! Just doorsteps away from Country Club of Rochester! A truly rare opportunity to own an architect-designed home where history, craftsmanship, and exceptional gardens come together in one unforgettable property.
