Welcome to 727 1st Street NW, an inviting 1919 American Foursquare classic in tree-lined Kutzky Park. This immaculate turn-key home melds modern convenience and prime location in a vibrant, walkable, family-friendly community. Just steps from downtown Rochester, the Mayo Clinic, local restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and bike paths offering a quiet respite in the center of Med City.
Step onto your welcoming front porch, the perfect space for morning coffee or an evening cocktail with neighbors. Upon entering the functional foyer, you’re greeted by meticulously restored interiors - boasting century-old hardwood flooring, 9 ft+ ceilings, and period millwork. Discover a harmony of history and modernity, the light-filled first floor expertly configured for gatherings large and small. A chef’s kitchen is the centerpiece of the home, designed without sacrificing form or function. You’ll find honed granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry, and abundant seating at your butcher-block island. A large picture window frames the functional living room, while the dining area (with wet bar) is a comfortable space for every meal. Rounding out the first floor is the mudroom/laundry, consciously designed with abundant storage for every season, and a renovated full bath featuring under-floor radiant heat.
The second floor of this family home contains three (3) well-proportioned bedrooms and two (2) full baths - both kept comfortable with under-floor radiant heat. The secondary bedrooms feature large casement windows and custom-built-ins, and a recently renovated (2024) full bathroom. The primary suite spans the entire width of the second floor, incorporating a cozy sleeping space, a spa-like bathroom with double vanity, and a walk-in closet with custom storage solutions. Finally, discreet stairs reveal a third-floor bonus room with high ceilings and custom Amish-built desks. This quiet flex space is well suited for working from home, inspiring creativity, or as a dedicated play space. The possibilities are truly endless.
In the rear of the home, a fully fenced backyard is your city oasis. Professionally landscaped with a large slate patio and custom oak pergola - it's a welcoming space for summer nights, relaxing with family and friends. The backyard includes a custom tree house and has direct access to the large detached garage. Additional highlights of this home include integrated Bluetooth whole-home surround sound, a spacious finished basement with abundant storage, updated electrical/mechanical/plumbing, and fresh interior/exterior paint.
This home exemplifies an uncompromised balance of historic charm, modern amenities, functional space, and practical location. Whether you’re a Mayo Clinic employee or simply looking for the best Med City has to offer, look no further!
