Welcome to our latest listing: 97 Long Meadow Circle in Pittford!
This 4 bedroom, 4 bath Cape Cod home is perfection! Just under 3000 square feet of charm with nearly an acre of land.
In the Real Estate business we always say location is everything! Well, it’s hard to beat Long Meadow.
Long Meadow is a magical neighborhood tucked away off of Monroe Avenue, between French Road and the Pittsford Canal Street bridge. It was developed in the early 1900s and is considered to be the first subdivision in Monroe County! A walk through Long Meadow is like a walk back in time.
According to the Town of Pittsford website, “Long Meadow is a unique area because of its large lots and the many architectural styles of homes that are represented in the neighborhood. Among the varied styles are bungalows, cottage-style and colonial revival.”
97 Long Meadow Circle adds to the incredible neighborhood mosaic!
A beautiful bluestone walkway invites you into this home!
There’s so much to love inside, too! The floors. The built-ins. The doors. All the light pouring in!
Here’s another angle. Don’t you love those windows?
There’s so much attention to detail. I love the moldings!
The home has a light and bright cook’s kitchen with all new stainless (Bosch) appliances! My favorite part of this kitchen? The windows!
This wall of windows is just incredible. It’s so unique! The lights streams in. The view is spectacular. It just feels peaceful!
There is so much personality throughout! Check out the angled walls in this bedroom!
The basement incudes a bathroom, rec room with a second wood-burning fireplace, mudroom and second laundry room!

Hard to believe this is so close to Pittsford Plaza, isn’t it? It’s the picture of tranquility!
The digital media company searched for family-friendly communities across the United States and chose one in our own backyard! They wrote, “There is truly so much to love about this 30K-strong suburb of Rochester, NY, starting with the amazing schools, the high employment rates and affordable housing, the plethora of outdoor parks and one of the most thriving farmers market situations we’ve ever seen.”
It’s true! Pittsford is one of the amazing local communities surrounding Rochester. Borrowing from Purewow, I thought it would be fun to profile different areas from time to time on my blog! Here are a few of my favorite things about Pittsford…
Nature
I love Pittsford for its canal and parks. It has some of the most gorgeous trails to explore. My favorite time to hike is during the fall when all the leaves are changing!

Pittsford Farms Dairy & Bakery
Ice cream, baked goods and coffee. Oh my! The Pittsford Farms Dairy & Bakery is a town staple! At Christmastime it looks like it could be the backdrop for a Hallmark movie with the Christmas trees and charming outdoor fireplace. Do you have a favorite ice cream flavor?
Powers Farm Market
If you haven’t been on a fall hayride at Powers Farm Market, are you even a Pittsford resident? 🙂 It’s so fun to drive up to Powers in the fall and be welcomed by a sea of pumpkins! In the winter they decorate their trees in the forest with lights and offer a walk-through living nativity. And did I mention they have baked goods? It’s hard to leave here without a donut.
The Library
I LOVE the Pittsford library. It’s located in the heart of the village and next to the canal. There is a Starbucks right inside the building! Best of all–the friendly staff and ambiance of the library itself always make for a great place to visit. They are constantly planning activities for the community. One of my favorite things is their window display filled with artwork by local students. It’s just the best!

Entertainment
Pittsford offers loads of entertainment all year long. The annual Candlelight night in December is a popular village tradition that includes musicians, dancers, horse-drawn carriage rides, food trucks and holiday decor. Local businesses open their doors and welcome the community after-hours with smiles (and often treats)! I can’t wait for Candlelight night to come back! Meanwhile concerts on the canal, drive-in movies at the Park, story walks at the Pittsford Recreation Center and parades through the village add to the vibrancy of life in Pittsford.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to get an ice cream cone at the Pittsford Dairy and then sit by the canal!
