Nestled on one of the largest lots near downtown Rochester, this newly remodeled 2-bedroom duplex (lower unit) blends historic charm with modern upgrades. Built in 1901, Rose and I scooped up this gem in July and have poured our hearts into thoughtful updates—like a newly upgraded bathroom with sleek finishes and a full remodel throughout. Perfectly positioned within walking distance to downtown and the Mayo Clinic, with a bus stop right on the corner, it’s your ideal home base for work, play, or relaxation.Step Inside a Warm, Inviting Escape:
Master Bedroom: Unwind in privacy with a plush king-size bed, a 55" smart TV loaded with Netflix, and your own ensuite bathroom for that extra touch of luxury.
