Mid-Century Modern Marvel 103 Glenview Lane, Irondequoit Along the western ridge of Irondequoit Bay, an enclave of small mid-century houses line secluded curved streets that ultimately lead down to the water’s edge. Sited prominently on a corner lot, the home at 103 Glenview Lane makes a statement of subdued mid-century modern style. The low-pitched gabled roofs with large eaves sit atop a strikingly modern composition of light brick, vertical wood siding and large swaths of glass.
wrapping around the chimney to the kitchen. The unique space-age light fixtures and floor to ceiling windows provide plentiful visual interest. The large kitchen completes the loop of space around the chimney and provides access to the finished basement and the covered breezeway to the two car garage. The plentiful cabinets, counter space, and unique built-in oven are well lit by two of the several original skylights in the home.
Built and reputably designed in 1960 by the home’s original owners, Stanley and Ann Gordon, the owners distilled the best of the era’s residential design with their own unique needs. Stanley Gordon, who many may recognize as one of Rochester’s most esteemed painters in recent memory, ran his painting studio out of the home up until the day he sold it to the current owner in 2003. Not surprisingly, the artist’s desire for light is evident throughout the home’s open flowing space.
A mahogany paneled hallway, lit by a space-age light and another skylight, leads to the three bedrooms and full bath, each with plentiful storage and high ceilings. The basement provides a large paneled rec room with an imposing ledge-stone fireplace in addition to a finished bonus room, storage rooms, and half bath.
Entering through the front door one is immediately struck by the beamed cathedral ceilings and the series of large open spaces, each arranged around a massive yet sleek central brick chimney. To the right of the entry is the living room area, filled with light from the several windows and abundant with midcentury design flair with its mahogany paneled walls and large open hearth. The dining room area beneath the peak of the cathedral ceiling flows from the living room,
The quality and purity of this mid-century home’s design is rare in that it was appreciated and not lost to the passing tastes of time. The sheer openness of the design makes it hard to fathom that the main floor comprises only 1,272 square feet, for it truly feels much larger. Listed by Bob Finocchio of Nothnagle Realtors, you can live out your “Mad Men” lifestyle for $134,900.
