About This Home
As of May 2025Welcome to 20 Wellesley St! Located in the Park-Meigs neighborhood, one of the most vibrant areas in Rochester known for restaurants, boutique shopping, art, music, and more... A unique history - it was built by the Sibley family in 1880 and offered as a residence to several generations of chauffeurs. The 3 car garage at the back of the property was once a barn/stable and then rebuilt and converted for automobiles. Offered for the first time in almost 40 years, the pride of ownership abounds. As you approach, an English Garden welcomes you up the walk to the front door. After entering from the front porch you'll soon notice this home has all of what's amazing about Victorian architecture. Inside the gorgeous oak door there's a large entry hall with a dramatic oak staircase, front sitting room, formal dining room with access the enclosed side porch, and an updated kitchen with 1st floor laundry. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms and a full bathroom. To the rear of the property is a the 3-car garage and adjacent private garden patio. This is Rochester at it's finest! Park-Meigs provides it's neighbors so much - walk to dozens of nearby restaurants, bars, parks, stores, museums, art galleries, and coffee shops. Schedule your showing today! Open House on Saturday, April 12th 1:00pm - 2:30pm
