About This Home
As of December 2020Incredible opportunity to own this amazing 3 bed/1.5 bath, single family Victorian w/ off-street parking & a walk-out porch, in Buffalo’s highly sought after & rapidly appreciating West Side. You are greeted by the open foyer w/ signature stair case. Then head through the working pocket doors to the spacious living room w/ original fireplace (NRTC) surrounded by gorgeous green tile & a carved tiger oak mantel. After admiring the leaded glass windows, follow the beautiful oak floors to large dining room w/ chauffeured ceilings & wainscoting. Pass through the convenient, eat-in butlers’ pantry to the bright & open modest kitchen that leads you through the sliding door to the large deck that overlooks the massive, private yard (it is so quiet & peaceful, you will think you are in the country). Upstairs, fall in love w/ the huge mstr bed that features 2 closets & lounge area. Check out the 2 more nicely sized beds & the full bath w/ claw-foot tub before heading to huge, finished 3rd floor w/ home office. Live in this stunning gem w/ all its character & charm while taking comfort in knowing you have younger roof, HE Lenox furnace, updated 150 AMP electrical panel & newer HWT ’14.
