Whether you're looking to expand your investment portfolio or live in one unit while generating rental income from the other, 81 Gillette St offers flexibility, character, and an unbeatable location near some of Rochester’s largest employers and universities. Conveniently positioned, this duplex is just minutes from the University of Rochester, Strong Memorial Hospital, and RIT. Inside, both nearly identical units offer a comfortable and functional layout with 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, a living room, dining room, and a bonus den — perfect for a home office, study space, or playroom. Original hardwood floors, beautiful natural trim, and charming details give the home warmth and personality, while thoughtful updates make everyday living easy. Most kitchen appliances have been updated to stainless steel, and the bathrooms have been refreshed, including a downstairs remodel in 2019. The majority of rooms have ceiling fans to reduce electric bills. Each unit features separate utilities and its own basement laundry area complete with washer, dryer, and utility sink — a huge advantage for both landlords and tenants. A brand-new HVAC system for the lower unit (2025), replacement windows (2018), and roof replacement (2015) add even more peace of mind. Outside, you'll find a manageable backyard, double-wide driveway, and an oversized 2.5-car detached garage — a rare bonus in the city. The location also offers easy access to Genesee Valley Park and its sports complex, the YMCA, and local favorite People’s Choice Kitchen. Vacant and move-in ready, this is an opportunity that works whether you’re building wealth through real estate investing or searching for a smart owner-occupied option in a historic 19th Ward location! **DELAYED NEGOTATIONS UNTIL THURSDAY 6/4/2026 AT 12PM**
