An $814,900 Rochester area home welcomes outdoor living
Dec. 4—HAVERHILL TOWNSHIP — A 3,685 square-foot home opens the door for outdoor living at just under $1 million in Haverhill Township.
The four-bedroom and four-bathroom home at 5104 Connemara Lane NE is for sale for $814,900. The 2.6-acre lot is "extraordinarily beautiful" with gardens, woods and lawns, as Edina Realty Rochester realtor Marion Kleinberg described. The Haverhill Township home, to the east of Rochester, is about 20 minutes from downtown Rochester.
"That's a little pocket of Rochester that not everybody knows is there," Kleinberg said. "The drive out there is quite pretty, once you get off Broadway North and start into that area, it really is quite lovely and very rolling and very nice."
Kleinberg said that with the home just outside the city, "there's not a scrap of highway noise" along the cul-de-sac. A cozy ambiance fills the house along with interior and exterior amenities, such as three fireplaces between the master bedroom, family room and living room.
"The fact that there are fireplaces ... in the house, and the use of materials, the wood and so on makes it (cozy) and the beautiful flooring all come together," Kleinberg said. "Even though it's a large house with a lot of square footage, it doesn't feel vast."
A covered patio and sunroom are the major added features since the house was built in 1998. The basement also has a storage room for wine, though it is not a climate-controlled wine cellar.
The upper-decked patio offers views into the backyard and a covered patio space extends the home in the summer months. Both have space for outdoor seating and dining. And owners can try their chef's skills with a built-in grill outside.
"It's your cottage ... in the summer, you just have this whole different aspect of your home that suddenly opens up when the weather is nice and you've got all this space out there and the ability to entertain and take meals out there," Kleinberg said.
