    If you live in Rochester you probably know about a little gem called the South Wedge.  According to its Wikipedia page, the South Wedge is a Rochester city neighborhood “comprised of a triangular wedge of land bordered by the Genesee River on the west, and the Erie Canal (now I-490) on the east. It is sometimes considered to include the adjacent Swillburg and Highland Park neighborhoods, as well as parts of the Lilac Neighborhood.”

    The neighborhood dates back to the 1820s an is rich with history and diversity.  It is also one of the fastest growing areas in the state of New York, according to the South Wedge Quarterly.

    This Rochester hot spot includes some amazing shops and restaurants!  Hedonist , Abode, Cheesy Eddies, Swiftwater Brewing Company, and Little Bleu Cheese Shop are just a few of the favorite local businesses!

    Recently I was fortunate to list a charming home in the South Wedge.  Not surprisingly, this little beauty sold within the first week!

    Another one I listed on Whitmore sold quickly too!

    A New Build With Views

    Sometimes it is a challenge to find new-build construction with an established landscape.  45 Shore Drive in Irondequoit, New York is a unique property because it hits both of these points!  Nestled in a beautiful wooded valley, the breathtaking home is surrounded by flora and fauna.  This home is also appealing because it is part of a neighborhood while still being tucked away just enough to enjoy privacy.  Ooh, and did I mention seasonal bay views?

    Bowden Carpentry built the home in 2015 and spared no details.  The spacious, open floor plan, coupled with the finishes, windows and loads of natural light, make this home a bright and airy showstopper.

    Townhome Life – Where The Livin’ Is Easy

    “Dan Collins has never regretted his decision to purchase a condo instead of a house in Baltimore because it absolved him of having to shovel snow or mow a lawn.” – Mainstreet.com

    I’ve read several articles recently about the condo/townhome appeal.  More and more people are opting for townhome life due to the easy lifestyle.  You might be surprised to hear that even many first-time home buyers are opting for townhomes!  It all boils down to quality of living!  Townhomes and condos often offer great amenities and time-savers for the homeowner.

    I’ve recently had the privilege of listing 656 Sable Oaks Lane in Penfield, New York.  The stunning property is located in the desirable Sable Oaks community and is within walking distance to Panorama Plaza, Corbett’s Glen and Ellison Park.  There is much to say about this luxury home!  I mentioned amenities–well this showstopper comes fully loaded with wall mounted televisions, deck furniture, hot tub, exercise equipment, gas grill and appliances.  It’s a perfect example of why people buy townhomes and condos!
