Historic Fairport Village Colonial across from Potter Park

Historic single family colonial located right across the street from Potter Park in the village of Fairport.  This is an ideal location for walking into the village or along the canal.

The relaxing front porch looks out over Potter Park and the tennis courts/playground.  Three parades/year pass by in front, making it a perfect gathering spot for friends and family. The back porch is cooled by a grape vine canopy that also provides sweet concord grapes for several weeks every year.  Also in the back is a detached, 2-car garage.

The foyer, living room, dining room, downstairs bathroom, and all four bedrooms have the original oak wood floors, all in great shape.  The living room has a large bay window looking out the front of the house, and a fireplace with a woodburning insert that helps heat the house in the cooler months.

The kitchen was rebuilt in 2000, and has a breakfast bar looking toward the 13' x 14' family room with vaulted ceiling.  The family room is a newer addition to the original house, and has a sliding door entrance from the back deck.

The finished attic has plenty of closets and enclosed storage spaces, and may be used as an office, or as a recreation room.  A third entrance on the side of the house includes a boot room, and provides easy access to the basement.

14 Potter Place was originally built for Minerva Deland in 1909.  The Deland family was prominent during the growth of Fairport from the mid 1800s.  Minera in particular was a respected educator in the district for 35 years, and the 9th grade school at the end of the road is named after her.  Brooks Hill Elementary and  Johanna Perrin middle schools are also in easy walking distance.
