Beautiful Burrows Hills Drive
Follow Penfield Road east from Brighton and the route begins to wind between wooded slopes and creek valleys. Turn onto the residential streets nearby and the architecture changes, too: older homes along Penfield Road give way to mid-century ranches and split levels on generous, tree-filled lots.
Burrows Hills Drive takes that landscape one step further. The road descends toward Allen Creek, and the homes along the hillside seem to belong to the terrain. At 112 Burrows Hills Drive, oversized picture windows look across a deep wooded backyard, with the creek winding through the back of the 0.65-acre property.
Experience the unique appeal of 112 Burrows Hills Dr Rochester NY 14625, where nature and architecture harmoniously blend. It’s a setting that helps explain this house, this street, and this particular corner of Penfield.
Penfield Road: An Older Route Through the Area
Today, Route 441 provides a direct connection between Brighton and Penfield. Penfield Road takes a more meandering course along higher ground between the Allen Creek valley and the Irondequoit Creek valley near Ellison Park.
Its homes show the road’s layers of development. Tudors, stucco houses, older Capes and Colonials sit among mature trees, joined by homes built in later decades. Woodcrest, Austin, Burrows and Poplar Drives branch off into neighborhoods shaped largely by the mid-century years. There, ranches, split levels and occasional Capes have broad yards, established gardens and trees that have had decades to grow.
Burrows Hills Drive slopes down from Woodcrest and Burrows Drive. The wooded approach opens onto a street of mostly 1950s and ’60s split-level homes, many with two-car garages and lots of roughly half an acre. On the south side, wooded backyards descend toward Allen Creek. It’s an unusually vivid example of how the land influenced the homes built upon it.
Allen Creek and the Nearby Parks
Allen Creek is part of the story here. At 112 Burrows Hills Drive, the wooded backyard runs down toward the creek, while the home’s large windows bring the trees into the main living space.
The landscape continues beyond the neighborhood. Corbett’s Glen Nature Park has a north entrance off Penfield Road, with a stone-dust loop and trails through the woods. Ellison Park offers another place to explore, including a Penfield Road trailhead. These are distinct parks with their own paths and scenery, connected to the same larger landscape of slopes, trees and creek valleys that gives Burrows Hills Drive its character.
There are familiar local stops along the road as well. Gentle’s Farm Market brings seasonal color to Penfield Road; Tree Town Cafe offers a place to meet for breakfast or lunch; and Panorama Plaza gathers shopping and everyday errands nearby. Together, they make this stretch of Penfield Road feel like more than a route from one town to another.

What We Love About 112 Burrows Hills Drive
For us, the first impression is the view from inside.
The main living level is open and bright, with hardwood floors and a wall of oversized picture windows facing the backyard. Built-in bookshelves and a wood-burning fireplace with a floating wood mantel give the shared living and dining space a strong focal point. Yet your eye keeps returning to the trees outside.
The eat-in kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, a walk-in pantry and a generous space for meals. A powder room just off the foyer completes this level.
A few steps up are three bedrooms, each with a large closet, and an updated full bath with a double vanity and a tub with tile surround. A few steps down from the main level, the partially finished walk-out lower level adds a family room, a laundry room with washer and dryer, and useful storage. Its door to the backyard makes the lower level feel connected to the outdoor space.
Outside, a slate patio, fire pit and dog run sit among mature trees and dense greenery. The lot stretches well beyond the immediate yard toward Allen Creek, giving the property a depth that’s hard to appreciate from the street alone.
The home also has recessed lighting, fresh paint in many areas, updated light fixtures, replacement windows, central air and an attached two-car garage. The roof is approximately 12 years old.
What stays with us, though, is the relationship between the house and the land. This 1957 split level fits the hillside, and its windows make the most of a wooded setting that has been part of Burrows Hills Drive’s appeal for generations.
