Rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive property in one of Buffalo’s most desirable locations! Situated within walking distance of Delaware Park, Hoyt Lake, and the Buffalo Zoo, this home also enjoys close proximity to Hertel Avenue, known for its vibrant mix of boutiques, restaurants, bakeries, cafés, and nightlife. Conveniently located near the Buffalo Metro Rail, Elmwood Village, the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, and the The Buffalo History Museum. The lower unit features 3 bedrooms, a spacious living room and dining room, an updated bath, private entrance, and a welcoming covered front porch. The upper unit has been tastefully refreshed with fresh paint throughout and a fully renovated kitchen showcasing new stainless steel appliances, butcher block countertops, new cabinetry, hardwar e, and flooring. The updated bath includes a new vanity and a custom shower with built-in shelving and drainage system, while new fans and light fixtures add modern appeal. Step outside to the private balcony, perfect for relaxing on warm summer evenings. A fully finished attic expands the upper living space with a full bath and 2–3 additional rooms, adding approximately 1,250 square feet of versatile usable space. Both units retain their timeless character with beautiful original woodwork, hardwood floors, and some new windows that fill the home with natural light. Additional improvements include new exterior doors, a roof approximately 7 years old, updated electrical service, new hot water tanks, Drylok-treated basement walls, and some newer basement windows. The full dry basement provides excellent storage and utility space. Outside, the driveway accommodates two vehicles, and the partially fenced backyard offers endless potential to create your own outdoor retreat. A remarkable blend of character, updates, location, and flexibility—this is a property unlike anything else on the market.
