About 29 Benton Street
Behind its charming cottage-like façade, 29 Benton Street opens into a surprisingly spacious, light-filled home with tall ceilings and beautiful oversized windows. Wide-plank wood floors flow through generous living spaces accented by period millwork, decorative ceilings and exposed brick. The bright kitchen has been enhanced with solid-surface counters, a new sink and dishwasher, stainless-steel refrigerator and range, abundant cabinetry and breakfast-bar seating. Three bedrooms include an expansive finished upper level—an inviting private retreat with excellent flexibility and storage. Two full baths and convenient first-floor laundry add everyday practicality. Outside, a covered side porch, rear deck and vine-draped arbor overlook a deep 44’ x 158.5’ lot with mature plantings and a usable chicken coop. Additional highlights include central A/C installed in 2025, a high-efficiency furnace, 2020 hot-water tank and 150-amp electrical service. Conveniently located in Ellwanger-Barry neighborhood near Highland Park, Highland Hospital, the University of Rochester and the South Wedge. A distinctive city home filled with warmth, character and more space than its sweet exterior suggests. Located within the National Register-listed Gregory Tract Historic District; qualifying owner-occupants may be eligible for New York State historic-rehabilitation tax credits. Delayed negotiations on September 21 at 12:00 PM.
