Description

Quiet luxury. Few homes embody that philosophy as deeply as Winterview, a completely reimagined residence on five exceptionally private acres overlooking its own forested landscape and Irondequoit Bay. The home was named in 1940 for its dramatic winter views of the bay. Virtually everything has been rebuilt, from the mechanical systems and infrastructure to the lighting, materials and finishes that give the home the feel of a West Coast luxury retreat. Expansive windows and sliding doors connect the interiors to the landscape outside. The minimalist chef’s kitchen includes a walk-in pantry and countertops that flow into views in all directions. Custom solid maple doors and cabinetry create a grounded feeling throughout. The living and dining rooms are sophisticated yet inviting, with generous natural light, captivating views, and a sculptural fireplace. An enclosed mudroom with frosted-glass pocket doors and vaulted ceilings eases the transition from outside. The primary bedroom floats like a spacious tree house in the canopy. Multiple exterior spaces invite you to enjoy the changing seasons, from first light to evenings entertaining friends among the white oaks & maples. Surrounded on three sides by the 106-acre Irondequoit Bay West county park, the estate offers connectivity to long private hikes. The home is designed for the way people increasingly want to live. It's organized into two distinct yet connected sections. The main house holds the kitchen, living and dining rooms, and the upstairs bedrooms and baths. A separate wing adds a dedicated gym, home office, and private full bath, with frosted French doors opening to a wall of windows overlooking the wooded hillside. Work, wellness, and everyday living each get their own space. The home adapts to your rhythms and the day’s. Zoned heating and cooling and whole-home smart lighting, with evening wind-down and night-time red-light modes, bring a high-end spa into your daily routine. On nights off, a fully concealed home theater turns the living room into a private cinema. Winterview combines architectural sophistication, exceptional privacy, and thoughtful design, all minutes from the city.
