A Charming Piece of Rochester History with Plenty of Potential!

Situated on a corner lot in a quiet Rochester neighborhood, this one-and-a-half-story home features 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and a welcoming sunroom, a wonderful spot to enjoy your morning coffee, curl up with a book, or simply take in the changing seasons.
