3005 Batavia Avenue

Description

Solid, updated home in Lauraville — steadily on the rise for over a decade — offering over 2,200 sq ft of living space across three finished levels (see attached floor plan). 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths with room to spread out. Hardwood floors and generously sized rooms run throughout, including big closets and a main-level bedroom and full bath for one-level living or a guest suite. The kitchen and flooring have been updated, and the living room features a brick fireplace. Upstairs offers three more bedrooms and a second kitchen, and a fully finished third floor — not reflected in the city's square footage record, see attached floor plan — adds a huge bonus room ideal for a rec room, home office, or extra living space. The basement includes a workshop area and plenty of storage, with more potential to finish. The owner used this home as two units for nearly 50 years, though it's not zoned for multi-unit use — a buyer could bring back that same flexibility for an in-law setup, multigenerational living, Airbnb potential, or simply renting out a room to a roommate. A covered front porch, second-floor deck, driveway, and detached 2-car garage round it out. Recent big-ticket updates include a new main roof (2020), new garage roof (2025), and new electrical breaker panel (2025). Lauraville brings tree-lined streets, a walkable Main Street of local shops and restaurants, and Herring Run Park nearby — a well-established, increasingly desirable corner of the city.
