If you appreciate the way buildings were made back in the day, you will love this 1930s brick masterpiece on Lake Avenue. There is just something about an old brick building that feels permanent and strong. This property is very well-maintained and has that classic “Rockin’ Rochester” character that stands out in the neighborhood. It is a massive building with over 8,000 square feet of space across three floors. The best part about an older building like this is the charm you find in the details. On the first floor, one of the apartments has a lovely open front porch, and another has a sweet side porch. These are perfect spots for tenants to enjoy the fresh air and really make the place feel like a home rather than just another apartment.
The building is set up perfectly with a mix of nine one-bedroom apartments and two studios. This variety is great because it attracts all kinds of tenants. The owner has already taken care of the big stuff, like installing a brand-new boiler in 2023 to keep everyone warm through the Rochester winters. The roof is about 15 years old, so you can breathe easy knowing the building is well-protected. There is even a coin-operated laundry room inside. This is such a nice treat for the people living there, and it’s a great extra feature for the owner. The units are spread out nicely across the floors, giving everyone their own sense of space and privacy.
At $900,000, this is a serious property for someone who wants to own a piece of the city’s history. One of the most exciting things is that the seller might even consider financing the deal! This makes it much easier to jump into owning such a large and reliable building. Whether you want to add a solid landmark to your collection or you are looking for a property that is already running smoothly, 201 Lake Avenue is a winner. It has the strength of the past and a very bright future.
