Escape to the beach! This roomy and welcoming 5 BR 3 BA Colonial with fabulous front porch, just a block and a half from the beach was rebuilt in 2006 and is now for sale. Originally built in 1948, the home was taken down to studs and completely rebuilt and expanded, adding main floor great room and 2 additional bedrooms upstairs, second rear staircase and large front porch. Flexible bedroom options with one bedroom on the 1st floor and 4 on 2nd floor will give you plenty of space for family and guests. Rear staircase access to 2nd floor bedrooms provides separate entryway and gives the home great in-law potential. Large walk up attic is partially finished and has potential for adding 3 more rooms. 24 solar panels were added to the home in 2016 which produce enough electricity to minimize current electric bill to $12-$15 per month. A pellet stove was also added to the great room which further reduces heating costs. Finishes are neutral with oak cabinetry and beautiful hardwood flooring throughout with some gorgeous Vermont White Pine floors repurposed from the original home to the MBR. The backyard is level and deep and fully fenced and includes a handy storage shed. This home has been cherished and improved upon for the past 70 years by the same family. Just a block and a half from Penfield Beach, 296 Lalley Blvd, as part of Fair Acres Beach Association enjoys private access to beach at the end of Lalley, is walkable to schools, and is a short hop to town and train.
