    What's special

    One-and-a-half-story homeClassic cape proportionsFully fenced yardWelcoming sunroomCorner lot
    A Charming Piece of Rochester History with Plenty of Potential! Originally built in 1871 and lovingly purchased by the current sellers in 1968, this sweet Cape offers the opportunity to own a home with history, character, and a future ready to be shaped by its next owner. 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. The fully fenced yard provides a private outdoor space for gardening, entertaining, play, or relaxing. A full basement offers excellent storage and potential for a workshop or future finishing. The home does need updating, making it an ideal opportunity for a first-time buyer, renovator, or someone who appreciates the satisfaction of transforming a home to reflect their own personal style and taste. With its classic Cape proportions and nearly 155 years of history, this property offers something increasingly difficult to find: a home with a story and the chance to write its next chapter. Bring your ideas, your creativity, and your vision—and make this charming Rochester home your own. Conveniently located in New Hampshire's Seacoast region, Rochester offers an appealing combination of small-city convenience, community character, and access to the outdoors. Rochester's location also makes it an attractive choice for commuters, with convenient access to Portsmouth, Dover, Durham, the Lakes Region, and the Maine border. Whether you're looking for your first home, a project you can make your own, or an affordable way to put down roots in the Seacoast area, this 1871 Cape is a special opportunity to bring new life to a home that has been part of Rochester's (The Lilac City) story for generations.
