EAST BLOOMFIELD Back in 2015 Jim and Jeanette Zavislan, then of Pittsford, were looking for a ranch house on about 10 acres.
Instead, the empty nesters fell in love with a storied circa-1840 Greek Revival house, known as the George and Addison Wheeler House, with a large barn on more than 100 acres. Jim, a professor at the University of Rochester, and Jeanette, an independent technical writer and an avid gardener, have since embraced the country life on their Grimble Road property.
“Our three grown children love visiting to enjoy the fresh air,” Jeanette said.
