86 Adams StreetRochester, NY, 14608

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.
