Each unit features 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom with comfortable, functional layouts, natural woodwork details, and over 2,100 square feet of total living space throughout the property. One unit is currently generating rental income, while the second offers an excellent opportunity for owner occupancy or lease-up at market rate. Ideally situated within walking distance to neighborhood shops and restaurants, the property is also just steps from the pedestrian footbridge providing direct access to the University of Rochester, making it especially appealing to tenants seeking convenience and connectivity. Off-street parking is a standout feature here, with two rare side-by-side spaces, eliminating the typical “conga line” arrangement and allowing for easy, independent access for each unit. Altogether, this is a well-located, versatile property with solid fundamentals and strong rental appeal in a consistently in-demand area.
