Own a legendary piece of Rochester history at 86 Adams Street, located in Corn Hill, the city's oldest residential district. Stroll along the neighborhood's charming, tree-lined sidewalks, with the Rochester Early College International High School directly across the street. Originally built in 1886, this remarkable 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom brick Victorian is celebrated as the former home of seminal Mississippi Delta blues icon Eddie James "Son" House, who lived here after moving north in 1943. The home beautifully preserves its 19th-century character, featuring original oak entry doors, soaring 10-foot ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and refinished original hardwood floors. The flexible third floor provides additional space for a home office, studio, guest area, or creative retreat. Outside, enjoy a large, fully fenced backyard with an enchanting grotto thoughtfully crafted from the home's original stone foundation. An exposed-brick primary suite, private deck, and thoughtful modern updates complement the home's historic character. This is a rare opportunity to own a property deeply woven into the fabric of Rochester history and American music, while enjoying the flexibility, privacy, and comforts of modern living. Delayed negotiations 9/21 at 12pm.
