Here’s your chance to own a property with plenty of space and possibilities right in the downtown district of Rochester. Offering 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, this home is served by public utilities and sits in a convenient location across from Spaulding High School, with easy access to downtown, shopping, and major routes. Currently classified by the town as a duplex, the flexible layout with a first floor bedroom and bathroom provides options, which allow you to use it as a traditional two-family, a spacious single-family home, or a single-family with an ADU for added income. Outside, you’ll find a detached garage with a newer (3-year-old) roof and a nice, flat backyard, perfect for outdoor activities, gardening, or entertaining. While the home itself could benefit from updating, it offers an excellent opportunity to gain significant square footage at affordable price that's below assessed value. Bring your vision and make this property your own, whether for investment, multi-generational living, or creating a spacious home with room to grow.
