Stunning duplex right in the heart of the Upper Monroe neighborhood and a true gem for any investor’s portfolio! Space, livability, prime location, and everyday convenience make this property equally appealing from both an ownership and tenant perspective. The upper apartment features three bedrooms and one full bath, while the lower offers two bedrooms and one full bath, each with a spacious layout, tall ceilings, newer windows, formal living and dining rooms, and a comfortable feel throughout. Upstairs, the large kitchen features a walk-in pantry, while original woodwork brings in some of the classic character you expect from a Rochester home of this era. Separate gas and electric meters make for practical ownership, while basement storage, laundry hookups, and ample off-street parking offer the everyday conveniences tenants appreciate and help support long-term tenant appeal. The best part? The Certificate of Occupancy was recently renewed and will transfer to the new owner and is valid through December 11, 2031. Just moments from Cobbs Hill Park and all the restaurants, shops, and neighborhood favorites along Monroe Avenue rounds the property out as a solid investment opportunity in one of Rochester’s most prime investment areas!

About Upper
Monroe
Upper Monroe, located between Goodman Street and Culver Road, is a residential and commercial Rochester neighborhood with early-20th-century homes and a walkable main-street strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Monroe Avenue near the Culver Road intersection, where coffee counters, small restaurants, and storefront services keep the sidewalks active. Landmark Society of Western New York anchors local preservation culture in a stately East Avenue setting. Cobbs Hill Park frames the area with wooded trails and skyline views from the reservoir. Side streets feature porches, brick and clapboard facades, and compact lots that keep blocks intimate. Independent shops and corner eateries along Monroe Avenue give daily errands a street-level rhythm.

The R-1 Low-Density Residential District is intended to maintain residential areas at relatively low densities. The R-1 District is a distinct urban area that is characterized predominantly by owner-occupied, single-family detached and attached homes but often contains a diverse mix of other preexisting higher-density residential uses. Each R-1 neighborhood is unique in character, composition and scale. The district requirements are intended to preserve and promote neighborhoods characterized by unobstructed front yards and pedestrian-scale streetscapes and to protect against undesirable uses and residential conversions.
