205 Van Voorhis Avenue

About this home

VALUE YOUR PRIVACY? Rarely does a property like this become available! Nestled on 1.5 acres of heavily wooded privacy, this hidden retreat offers approximately 110 feet of frontage on Van Voorhis Avenue and 180 feet bordering the scenic Walking Trail connecting the O'Rorke Bridge to Seneca Park Zoo. Hidden from the road and surrounded by nature, it feels like your own private park, complete with woods to roam, frequent deer sightings, and direct public access to the Genesee River for kayaking, fishing, hiking, and outdoor recreation. Turning Point Park and miles of riverfront trails are steps away. The charming 3-bedroom, 1.5 bath ranch offers far more space than first meets the eye. The walk-out lower level includes a 4th bedroom, half bath, and an enormous recreation room, making it ideal for guests, extended family or entertaining. The main level features a modern kitchen, beautiful hardwood floors, a dramatic cathedral ceiling with skylights in the living room, convenient first-floor laundry, and abundant natural light throughout. Enjoy the warmth and character of two wood-burning fireplaces with inserts—one on the main level and one in the walk-out lower level. Major mechanical updates include a 95% high-efficiency furnace, central air conditioning, and Low-E thermal replacement windows, offering comfort and energy efficiency. Outside, there's plenty of room for vehicles, recreational equipment, and guests with a 2-car attached garage, blacktop and gravel parking areas, and convenient turnarounds. A park-like natural stone and concrete hillside staircase with multiple landings and sturdy steel handrails provides safe, attractive access between the home and road, beautifully complementing the property's wooded setting. Pet owners will appreciate the dog kennel with basement access through a doggy door. If you've been searching for a home that combines modern comfort with exceptional privacy, abundant wildlife, and one of West Irondequoit's most unique natural settings, this is a rare opportunity you won't want to miss. Accepting cash and all forms of finance with offers: Conventional, FHA, VA or Private. Offers due Friday, 7/31/26, 10AM
