Solidly Tudor

471 Woodbine Avenue 471 Woodbine sits solidly at the top of a small rise behind a strikingly landscaped foundation garden. The Tudor Revival style home was built in 1927 and has the historic features to prove it. An arched hood over the door seems to say, “Do come in.” A small vestibule with a coat closet leads to the main hallway. On the left enter the living room through leaded glass French doors, which can shut out the noise of comings and goings in the hallway. Light streams into the room through the bay window, providing extra space and inviting restful contemplation or quiet conversation. During the winter months the wood burning fireplace draws family and guests into the circle of flickering firelight. Another French door leads to the sunroom with windows on three sides. Here you could begin your day with a cup of coffee while watching the sun rise. The dining room offers a view of the private fencedin backyard through another bay window. Throughout, door and window casings are natural, unpainted wood and floors have the original narrow boards. The small kitchen has been updated with simple wood cabinets, a tile backsplash and a ceramic floor. A small walkin pantry provides extra storage space. Upstairs, three bedrooms with closets and a new bathroom surround a short hall with a large linen closet. The third floor attic space has been transformed into a spacious retreat with natural light streaming in from the front dormer, a back window and a skylight. A

half bath completes the space, which could become a large master bedroom, a spacious den/office or a playroom for the younger family members. Extra storage is found under the eaves and other nooks and crannies behind the walls. Back downstairs, step outside into the backyard. A tall wooden fence surrounds a thoughtfully landscaped area. The murmur from a small waterfall and the shadows from the tall trees produce a feeling of calm and beauty, detached from the rest of the world. But there is a surrounding neighborhood with engaged residents and an active neighborhood organization. The 19th Ward Community Association aims to preserve the residential character of the historic 19th Ward. Its mission is to “create, foster and maintain a multi-racial community where individual and cultural differences are celebrated and where people share a sense of community.” For a description of the Association’s activities and events see www.19wca.org. Located in the historic Sibley Tract, 741 Woodbine qualifies for the University of Rochester Home Owners Incentive Program for employees. To see this 1,852 square foot gem, which is listed at $99,900, contact Ginny Hurlbutt at 585-3814400 x230 or ginny@ginnyhurlbutt.com. by Lea Kemp Lea is Librarian/Archivist at Rochester Museum & Science Center.
