Welcome to 97 Roar Street in Rochester—an updated and well-maintained two-family home offering both mechanical reliability and timeless character. This property features a newer roof (approximately 5–6 years old) and has been thoughtfully improved throughout the years, both cosmetically and structurally. One unit offers 3 bedroom and one full bath, 2nd apartment offering 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath with updated flooring, beautiful natural hardwoods, and classic woodwork that highlights the home’s charm (3rd bedrooms do not have a closet). The stucco exterior and tasteful architectural details further enhance its curb appeal, while a spacious three- to four-car detached garage provides exceptional storage and functionality. Separate meters for both electric and gas. Make this a very functional investment or a great owner occupied. Ideally located within the City of Rochester, this property offers convenient access to many of the area’s most popular attractions. Just minutes away, you’ll find the Main Street Armory, a historic venue hosting concerts and events, along with nearby theaters, breweries, and arts destinations. The home is also within close proximity to the Memorial Art Gallery and The Strong National Museum of Play, both well-known cultural attractions in the city. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy nearby parks and scenic areas such as Highland Park, famous for its landscapes and annual lilac festival. Rochester offers a vibrant mix of arts, history, dining, and entertainment, making this property an excellent opportunity for both owner-occupants and investors alike. Delayed negotiations until April 15th at 2PM. Please allow 24 hours to review all offers.

Investors or owner occupants welcomed! Tax record lists this home as a duplex, but owner has never rented it. Upper and lower living spaces were split with family members. Separate utilities, but could easily be converted back to single family by opening up a section of the main floor entryway wall. Well kept, hardwoods in great shape, clean/dry basement, and both hot water tanks replaced in 2017.

R-1
Low-Density Residential District
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.
