Lavish Rochester has varied living spaces

Majestic arched openings frame doors and windows in the Rochester, a Mediterranean-style home with a lavish multiplicity of interior and exterior living areas.

Entering the home, you step into a bright entry with a lofty 15-foot ceiling. Light spills in through multipaned windows that flank and overarch the door while plant shelves above and below add visual interest along the passageway.

Both the living room and the dining room are also richly windowed. The living room has a 12-foot ceiling and a fireplace flanked by shelves. An elegant coffered ceiling crowns the dining room.

Everyday family living spaces are at the rear, where a bay-shaped screened porch expands the vaulted family room and another window bay creates an eating nook. A fireplace is at one end, next to the entertainment center, and the kitchen is at the other.

This kitchen has everything, starting with a wet bar close to the family room. The long, free-form work island houses a vegetable sink, conversation bar, and a cooktop embedded in a granite counter. Other kitchen features include: a huge walk-in pantry, trash compactor, lazy susan shelving, and an appliance garage. Utilities are handy, in a room with ample space for a sewing desk, freezer and pull-down ironing board.

The luxurious master suite boasts its own entertainment center along with an exceptionally spacious walk-in closet. Amenities in the master bathroom include: twin lavs, soaking tub, private toilet, and a walk-in shower with a seat.

The Rochester also has an office/guest suite on the main floor, and two bedrooms with a balcony on the second level.
