    Spacious backyardWood-burning fireplaceOversized two-car garage
    Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of Rochester’s Architectural History! Don’t miss your chance to revive the iconic Don Hershey "Little Medina Stone Cottage”—a true gem blending history, character, and untapped potential. This deceptively spacious 1,786 sq ft, 4-level home is far more than meets the eye. While it may appear as a modest ranch from the street, step inside to discover a unique multi level layout filled with endless possibilities. The standout kitchen features a rounded breakfast nook with panoramic views. A generous living room centers around a classic wood-burning fireplace, perfect for cozy nights in. With 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, there’s plenty of room to design your dream space. Step down to the lowest level and be transported back in time—complete with a retro bar and entertainment area just waiting to be brought back to life. The exterior boasts a combination of original Medina stone and pine clapboard siding, capturing timeless mid-century appeal. Outside, enjoy a spacious backyard and oversized two-car garage. Located just minutes from Seabreeze and local amenities, this home is ideal for an investor or buyer ready to roll up their sleeves and earn serious sweat equity. Cash or rehab financing only—this unique property is in need of renovation & won’t qualify for regular financing. Bring your vision, and make this Rochester classic your own! Needs renovation throughout, mechanics are good with updated electric, 2004 Trane Furnace, roof replaced in 2007. Being sold “As-Is” seller will not make any repairs or concessions. No showings on Sunday & Delayed negotiations until Monday 5/5 at 10:00am.
