A rare opportunity in Rochester's Downtown Commercial District, this restored 1800 Victorian New Englander at 86 Wakefield Street combines historic character with exceptional flexibility for a wide variety of uses. Offering more than 4,000 square feet across three floors plus a separate accessory dwelling unit, the property's prime location and zoning allow for possibilities that include professional offices, boutique retail, mixed-use live/work space, or even a charming bed-and-breakfast. Inside, classic New England architecture shines through with stained glass, tin ceilings, and a striking grand staircase that creates an impressive first impression for clients or guests. The main level provides multiple large rooms ideal for offices, meeting spaces, or display areas, while the upper floors offer additional private rooms, bathrooms, and storage. The included ADU, complete with its own kitchen and bath, expands options for private workspace, staff housing, or rental income. Generous interior square footage is complemented by standout exterior features: a welcoming front entry, screened porch, large deck, landscaped grounds, and a one-car garage. Located just steps from Rochester's growing downtown, this property represents a rare chance to invest in a versatile, character-rich building perfectly suited for a wide range of commercial or mixed-use visions.
