400 Parsells Ave, Rochester, NY 14609

Two homes, one roof, and plenty of options. Destination Properties presents this side by side duplex in Rochester’s up and coming Beechwood neighborhood that feels more like a pair of townhouses than the usual up and down two family home. Built in 1920, it offers 2,246 square feet on a 0.15 acre lot. Each side has its own front porch, its own full basement, living space on the first floor and 2 bedrooms with 1 bath upstairs. 404 is empty and ready for its next chapter. It’s been redone top to bottom with fresh paint, refinished hardwoods and solid oak cabinets, and the appliances stay. Move right in, or rent it out for around $1,500 a month. Next door, unit 400 has a long-term tenant paying $1,100 a month who would love to stay. If you’d rather have that side for yourself or family, they’re open to moving. Inside you’ll find refinished floors, some luxury vinyl, oak cabinets and granite counters. With both sides rented, you’re looking at about $2,600 a month as is, with room to grow to $3,000 once the occupied unit is brought up to market. The roof is only 6 years old and the mechanicals are newer, so the expensive items are already taken care of. Add in off-street parking, washer/dryer hookups and plenty of basement storage, and there isn’t much left on the to do list. Getting around is easy. Several RTS bus lines stop right near the corner of Culver Road and Parsells, and East Main and downtown are a quick trip away. Neighborhood parks, the Parsells Ave community garden, shops and pharmacies are all close. Live on one side and let the other help with the mortgage, or keep both rented and let the numbers work for you. Either way, this one is worth a look.
