$199,000! Huge potential! 4,800 sqft! C. 1900 in New York!
Thirty-three Kenwood Avenue is a Queen Anne-style four-unit house in the 19th Ward, one of Rochester’s oldest and most architecturally rich neighborhoods. It was built in 1900 and still carries its original woodwork, stained glass, and layout, split today into four separate apartments that are all currently rented. At 4,857 square feet, it’s a big house with a lot of history and a built-in income stream already in place.
33 Kenwood Ave, Rochester, NY 14611 — $199,000
Curb Appeal and Setting
The house sits on a corner-style lot with mature trees, a full front lawn, and a covered wraparound porch. A stone foundation and a two-story bay give the front elevation some real presence, and the steep, multi-gabled roofline with a tall brick chimney is classic turn-of-the-century Rochester.
- Style: Queen Anne / Victorian multi-family
- Year built: 1900
- Wraparound covered front porch
- Stone foundation
A Grand Foyer and Original Woodwork
Inside, the listing calls out a grand foyer with a staircase, high beamed ceilings, and original pocket doors, the kind of details that are expensive to replicate today and rare to find still intact in a working rental property.
Stained Glass, Fireplaces, and Hardwood Floors
Stained glass windows, decorative fireplaces, and hardwood flooring run throughout the building. The bathrooms keep their vintage ceramic tile as well, adding to the sense that this house has held onto its original character even after a century of tenants.
- Stained glass windows
- Decorative fireplaces
- Hardwood flooring
- Vintage ceramic tile bathrooms

Four Separate Apartments

- 5 bedrooms / 4 bathrooms combined
- 4,857 square feet total

All four units are occupied. Current monthly rents are $725, $700, $675, and $900, which adds up to $3,000 a month, or $36,000 a year, in existing rental income before any adjustments an owner might make going forward.
