### Lovely 2 BR 2BA, Close to Mayo and trails
Welcome to Rose's Place – Your Cozy Rochester Retreat with a Backyard Oasis!
Nestled on one of the largest lots near downtown Rochester, this newly remodeled 2-bedroom duplex (lower unit) blends historic charm with modern upgrades. Built in 1901, Rose and I scooped up this gem in July and have poured our hearts into thoughtful updates—like a newly upgraded bathroom with sleek finishes and a full remodel throughout. Perfectly positioned within walking distance to downtown and the Mayo Clinic, with a bus stop right on the corner, it’s your ideal home base for work, play, or relaxation.Step Inside a Warm, Inviting Escape:
Master Bedroom: Unwind in privacy with a plush king-size bed, a 55" smart TV loaded with Netflix, and your own ensuite bathroom for that extra touch of luxury.
Secondary Bedroom: Cozy up on a queen-size bed—perfect for guests or family.
Modern Kitchen: Whip up meals with ease using a fully stocked setup of dishes and cookware, designed with your convenience in mind.
Dining Area: Gather around the table for meals or challenge the family to a nostalgic showdown on the PAC-MAN arcade machine—a rare, fun feature kids (and adults!) will love, right in the dining room!
Living Area: Kick back on a comfy couch or chair with an ottoman and blankets, gathered around a 55” smart TV. Stream Netflix or enjoy cable TV through Xumo—a rare treat in Rochester vacation rentals! Board games like Catan and Scrabble, plus a massage gun, keep the good vibes going.
Bright & Airy: Large windows flood every room with natural light, creating a cheerful, uplifting vibe.
Backyard Oasis Awaits:
Step outside to a massive backyard oasis—one of the largest you’ll find near downtown Rochester. Gather around the cozy fire pit for unforgettable evenings under the stars, dine al fresco at the standalone dining table, and enjoy the charm of a birdhouse attracting local wildlife. Vibrant flowers add pops of color, and a beautiful garden is coming soon in 2025, alongside a new patio and another grill spot, elevating this space into the ultimate outdoor retreat. Sip coffee on the front porch or fire up the Pit Boss smoker for a BBQ—this backyard is your haven for relaxation and connection. Convenience Meets Charm:
Location: Stroll 15 minutes to downtown (or drive in 3), with Uber/Lyft and a corner bus stop at your fingertips.
Parking: Off-street space for 2 cars—no parking hassles here.
WiFi: High-speed internet keeps you connected.
Keypad Entry: Secure, contactless check-in for peace of mind.

Craving a night out? Pittsburgh Blue, the best steakhouse in town, is just 4 blocks away. Start your morning at Benedict’s, Rochester’s top breakfast spot, or indulge in Hollandberry Pannekoeken’s Dutch soufflé pancakes—a nod to Rose’s Dutch-American roots. Thoughtful Touches:
Arrive to homemade cookies from Rose’s family recipe, refreshing beverages, and snacks like chips, candy, and Life Savers. Upstairs, the loft offers a quiet nook with books—ideal for teens or anyone craving a peaceful retreat. Inside, historical charm meets modern upgrades, including the newly upgraded bathroom with contemporary fixtures and a spa-like feel.
