Step back in time with this spacious 1880s 5-bedroom Colonial, brimming with classic Rochester charm! A grand wraparound front porch welcomes you into a home full of character and potential. Inside, you'll find rich natural woodwork, some original hardwood floors, a grand staircase, and vintage fireplaces (currently non-functioning) that add to the home's nostalgic appeal. The enclosed foyer and large country-style kitchen provide generous space for everyday living or entertaining. Upstairs offers five well-proportioned bedrooms and plenty of room to reimagine the layout to suit your needs. The old-style carriage house adds a touch of history and storage possibilities. Nestled on a nice level lot and close to city transportation, schools, parks, and downtown amenities, this home is a fantastic opportunity to restore and make your own. Home does need interior rehab and remodeling. Tenant-occupied until 9/25—perfect for investors or buyers planning ahead. Don’t miss this diamond in the rough with tons of charm and space to grow!
