Charming Browncroft Bungalow 55 Mayfield Street Known by their slogan, “a beautiful section of a beautiful city,” the Browncroft neighborhood is one of the most picturesque and walkable areas in Rochester. Now that spring is here, the horticultural origins of this area – part of the extensive Brown Brother’s Continental Nursery – are even more apparent, as forsythia, magnolia, wisteria and lilac plantings along the tree lawns come into bloom. Tucked away on one of these attractive streets is the charming Bungalow style house at 55 Mayfield Street. Popular during the first three decades of the 20th century, the Bungalow style was part of the Arts-and-Crafts movement that originated in England in the 1870s. The prototype for the American Bungalow came from India, where similarly designed vacation houses were built in the foothills of the Himalayas for English expatriates serving in governmental and military posts. In the United States, the style was first seen on the west coast and later promoted extensively through popular magazines such as House Beautiful, Ladies’ Home Journal, and Good Housekeeping. Built in 1920, this lovely home has had only three owners over the past nine decades and is in remarkable original condition, retaining the many details that make it such an appealing residence. The pebble-dash stucco exterior and robin’s egg blue bead-board trim give the house the appearance of an English cottage. Highlighted with brick corner piers and a decorative trellis, the front porch provides ample seating for summer evening relaxation.
The first floor has an open floor plan, with more space than you might expect in a house of this design. The front vestibule opens into the main hall. To the right, the living room and adjacent music room remind you of earlier house designs that featured a double parlor as the principal space for family activities. The dining room and kitchen flow together as one large space, due to a sensitive renovation where a dividing wall was partially removed. The first floor rooms retain their gumwood trim and distinctive “Rochester” oak floors. An updated full bathroom is also located on the first floor. Three bedrooms with gumwood trim and pine floors are located on the second floor. The cozy front bedroom, with distinctive “ribbon windows” has the potential to be a study or home office. The basement offers ample space for laundry, work room, exercise equipment, and storage. The enclosed yard includes a new driveway, wood deck, and plenty of opportunity for the gardening enthusiast, with its generous exposure to sunlight. The house has updated mechanicals, circuit breakers and plumbing. This 1,400 square foot residence is listed at $109,900.
