Step inside this beautifully restored Victorian New Englander, built in 1800, and discover a home rich with character and space. Offering over 4,000 square feet, the residence features timeless details such as stained glass windows, tin ceilings, and a sweeping wood staircase that sets the tone from the grand foyer. The main level flows from a large living room and sitting room with fireplace, into both formal and informal dining spaces, an eat-in kitchen with breakfast nook and access to the deck, a family room, bedroom, and bath. Upstairs are four additional bedrooms and another full bath, while the third-floor attic provides generous storage. A highlight of the property is the separate ADU, complete with its own bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bath, ideal for guests, extended family, or potential rental income. Outside, the grounds offer a large screened porch, yard space for gatherings, a fire pit, and a detached garage. Located in Rochester’s vibrant Downtown Commercial District, the home provides unique flexibility, while steeped in residential comfort, it also sits in a zone that encourages adaptive reuse, historic preservation, and a mix of uses both residential or commercial, should future needs evolve. This is a rare opportunity to own a historic property that blends charm, function, and endless possibility.
