Why rent when you can own a piece of Rochester history and build equity in one of the city's most iconic residences? Located in the elegant "Bishop's Mansion" on East Avenue, this historic condo offers a rare opportunity for medical professionals, graduate students, university staff, or anyone relocating to Rochester looking for character, convenience, and long-term value. Originally designed by renowned architect Leon Stern in 1907 for Frank Ritter, founder of Ritter Dental Manufacturing Company, the mansion was inspired by a 15th-century Bavarian manor castle. From 1915-1975, it served as the residence of the Catholic Diocese before being transformed into unique condominiums. Inside, you'll find stunning hardwood floors, rich natural woodwork, hand-carved mahogany details, and timeless architectural charm throughout. The grand entrance features an impressive sitting area and dramatic double staircase that immediately sets this residence apart from ordinary apartment living. Enjoy your own private balcony along with effortless HOA-maintained living. Just minutes from Strong Memorial Hospital, Rochester General, the University of Rochester, and the vibrant restaurants, coffee shops, and nightlife of East and Park Avenue. A smart alternative to renting with the opportunity to invest in yourself while enjoying one of Rochester's most distinctive addresses.
