Property Description
Welcome to 88 Fort Hill Terrace, aka 150 Southview Terrace—a rare opportunity in Rochester’s sought-after Strong Neighborhood, within walking distance of the University of Rochester, Strong Memorial Hospital, and College Town. Properties here are rarely available, making this attractive for investors, medical professionals, University faculty, students, or buyers seeking a primary residence. The property is offered furnished, providing a home already equipped for comfortable living. For investors, the furnishings offer a head start toward a furnished or other permitted rental without furnishing from scratch. This charming 1947 Cape Cod offers 1,205 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms, and 2 full baths, blending original character with thoughtful updates. Refinished original hardwood floors preserve its timeless appeal, while improvements include two remodeled full baths, an updated kitchen with new butcher-block countertops, and fresh exterior paint. The versatile floor plan features two bedrooms and a full bath on the first floor, while the second level offers a spacious, private third bedroom with its own full bath—ideal for owner-occupants, students, medical professionals, or tenants. Situated on a corner lot with a brick-front exterior, the property also offers off-street parking and an attached one-car garage—valuable conveniences in this walkable neighborhood. Location is the standout. Walk to Strong Memorial Hospital, the University of Rochester, College Town, restaurants, shops, and amenities. Whether seeking housing close to work or campus, a home for a student, or an investment near major employment and educational centers, this property offers exceptional versatility. For investors, the property was recently leased for $2,500 per month and is offered furnished, creating a compelling opportunity for a furnished, long-term, or other permitted rental strategy. It’s equally appealing as a future primary residence. Strong Neighborhood opportunities are limited—especially properties combining location, furnishings, updates, parking, flexible living space, and rental history.
