The opportunity of owning an historical lighthouse has just become available. Braddock Point Lighthouse built in 1895 is now for sale. This functional jewel was totally restored back to the beautiful Victorian keepers dwelling it was. By using the original Coast Guard blue prints of 1895, the meticulous renovation took 8 years. All mechanicals were replaced in this 3,000 sq. foot home. All rooms were remodeled as they were originally designed.
When it was originally built, it was referred to as the brightest light on Lake Ontario. The light is now a shining beacon to keep ships and pleasure boats safe. Located 15 miles west of Rochester, N.Y., on Lake Ontario, an easy 20 minute ride from Rochester International Airport. The lighthouse is in a very private, park like setting with mature trees, slate terraces and a circular driveway. The keepers dwelling consists of 3 or 4 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, large eat in kitchen, butler’s pantry, 2nd pantry, formal dining room, parlor, keepers office and 3 fireplaces.
Lake side there is an all glass octagon shaped room with a 180 degree view of beautiful Lake Ontario. The sunsets are the most beautiful and romantic ever. There is an 1800 sq. foot carriage house with a 6 car attached garage. This unbelievable piece of history could be a great get away, a full time residence or possibly a bed and breakfast. For those of us that have ever dreamed of living in a lighthouse, this could be a dream come true.
