Property Description

Opportunity meets character at 52 Herkimer Street! This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath Colonial offers 1,762 sq ft of living space, plus a surprising amount of additional usable space and potential beyond the stated square footage. Better yet, several of the big-ticket items are already in place: a tear-off roof approximately 1.5 years old, 3-year-old hot water heater, updated electrical panel, and mostly updated vinyl windows. Investors, take note: the property also comes with a fully transferable Certificate of Occupancy valid through 12/09/2030—a significant head start for its next owner. Inside, you'll find the kind of character that's hard to recreate, including beautiful hardwood floors just waiting to be brought back to life, natural woodwork, a wood-burning fireplace, formal dining room, eat-in kitchen with pantry, and generous room sizes throughout. Four enclosed porches add approximately 300 sq ft of additional space not included in the listed square footage. And don't miss the full, partially finished walk-up attic! With roughed-in rooms and plumbing already in place, this substantial bonus area offers exciting possibilities for future expansion and is also not included in the home's 1,762 sq ft. Outside you'll find a deep 40' x 166' lot, fully fenced yard, concrete driveway, and detached garage. Yes, there's some polishing to do, but that's exactly where the opportunity lies. With great bones, loads of character, valuable improvements already completed, and considerable untapped space, this is a compelling option for an owner-occupant looking to build equity or an investor searching for a property with the fundamentals already in place. Bring your vision and unlock the potential of this classic Rochester home! Delayed Negotiations until Thursday, 8/20 at 7 PM.
