This home is packed with potential and perfectly positioned in one of Rochester’s most desirable and walkable neighborhoods - close to Highland Park, Highland & Strong Hospital, and some of the city’s best dining and nightlife. Inside, you’ll find a spacious and functional floor plan featuring 4 bedrooms, a large bathroom, and expansive living spaces looking for your personal touch. A generously sized first-floor bedroom offers flexibility, while upstairs you’ll find the additional 3 large bedrooms. Original hardwood floors and trim run throughout the home—just waiting to be restored to their full beauty. The fenced-in backyard provides outdoor space to enjoy, and the basement includes a washer and dryer that are only a few years old. The home previously had a driveway, offering the opportunity for a future owner to reestablish off-street parking. Whether you’re an investor searching for strong ARV potential or a handy homeowner ready to build instant equity, this is a rare chance to transform a well-located property into something truly special. Delayed negotiations will take place on 5/14 at 12 pm.
