About This Home
Whether you're looking to owner-occupy or expand your investment portfolio, this beautifully maintained duplex offers an exceptional opportunity just a few blocks from Rochester General Hospital—making it an ideal location for hospital employees, residents, students, and traveling professionals. Situated on a quiet side street, the property features a private, fully fenced backyard, a detached garage for additional storage, separate gas and electric utilities for each unit, and is Greenlight ready! Both apartments include their own washer and dryer, dishwasher, and individual utility meters, making management simple and convenient. The first-floor unit is truly move-in ready, featuring gleaming hardwood floors, stunning original gumwood trim, and a beautifully updated kitchen with solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and a classic butler's pantry. Modern conveniences include a Wi-Fi thermostat, front and rear security cameras, and a gas line already in place beneath the fireplace for a future gas insert. The second-floor apartment has been extensively updated with new flooring, fresh paint, all-new kitchen cabinetry and countertops, and a complete set of new appliances, creating an attractive, low-maintenance living space. Major mechanical and electrical improvements provide additional peace of mind, including a new electric service from the street, updated electrical panels, exterior meter relocation, a new second-floor combination boiler/water heater (2022), glass block basement windows, and both boilers are professionally serviced EVERY YEAR, most recently in December 2025. The basement also offers exciting future potential, with plumbing already in place for a half bathroom—creating the possibility of adding a studio or additional finished living space (subject to municipal approvals). Whether you're looking to offset your mortgage by living in one unit and renting the other or seeking a turnkey investment in one of Rochester's most convenient locations, this property is one you won't want to miss.
