    What's special

    Tucked into a peaceful, tree-lined setting on .27 acres, this 1928 NE Rochester home has the kind of character and privacy that can be hard to find at this price point. With 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and flexible finished space, there’s a lot to love here whether you’re buying your first home, looking for an investment or simply want a little more space without giving up the convenience of being in town. Inside, you’ll find a comfortable main-level living space and a primary suite with a newly remodeled ensuite bathroom and new carpet in the living room. Kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances. Head upstairs and you’ll find a versatile loft that gives you options. Home office, guest space, hobby room or 3rd bedroom possibility. Even better, some of the big-ticket updates are already done with a brand-new A/C, newer roof and 2019 furnace. Outside, mature trees create a private feel with two patio areas and plenty of room to make the yard your own. Just in time for Minnesota bonfire season, with space to gather around the fire this fall, and come spring, start planning the garden you’ve always wanted. And you’re not trading convenience for that extra breathing room. Downtown Rochester and Mayo Clinic are approximately a 10-minute drive away, with Silver Lake, grocery stores, restaurants, parks and everyday essentials all nearby. If you’ve been searching for an affordable Rochester home that isn’t cookie-cutter, this one is worth a look. Character, updates, a wooded setting and room to make it your own, all just minutes from the heart of Rochester.
