We saw this incredible home on our very first visit to Rochester and fell in love. The original owner, Chris Crafts, was there and gave us an very personal tour and pointed out many of the features of the home. Chris and his fiancé/wife, Julie (Fiske), now reside in San Francisco. Chris also provided us with photos, drawings, plans and all manner of great information about the house. We know that the home was built by Allison Builders starting 2002 and finishing in 2003. Chris personally did some of the accent trim work on the house and Julie, a professional interior designer helped with color schemes and accents. We know that Bill, from All-Bright Painting, did much of the painting. The home is 22 minutes from my new job at Bausch & Lomb.

The Bonus Room over Garage (overlooking the woods) with enormous closet space as well. Note that this room is bigger than the HOUSE that we lived in during grad school!. (And many, many years from now, if we decide to rent it out, Chris Houston gets first dibs!
This is a shot of our home from the Fall. Note the color of the front door and sidelights as compared to the shot from July 2004 at the top of the page. This makes me believe that this is from 2003 at the latest.
Note that this shot shows the red front door and sidelights, but is from the winter - probably 2003/2004.

How do you run the Jacuzzi? Temperature control is automatic and maintains what is there when you turn it on.

Can we have a bathroom in the basement - sewer pipe is about 60" above floor level, so we'll need a pumped system.

There is NO sump pump, only a dry "crock" with a gravity feed out the back - no fear of flooding in power out.

Outside Outlets - corner near front door and garage, near electric meter, on rear patio, on deck and near A/C.
