About This Home
Rare opportunity to own an award winning piece of Buffalo's history! One of only four Buffalo homes featured in the 1890 issue of the Scientific American Architects and Builders edition, this Queen Anne Victorian is a show stopper. Originally owned by Dr. Thomas H. (C.F) Callaghan of Buffalo and completely reconstructed to its historic appearance and charm in the 1990's; winning the Allentown Association's Beautification & Buffalo Landmark and Preservation Board awards. At a glance this property features all that you'd want to see in a Historic Victorian; rich ornamentation, handcrafted spindle-work, stained glass, covered front porch, upper balcony w/ balustrade and of course the famous octagonal turret! The grand mission styled door opens into a tiled foyer with french doors leading you into the home. Vintage grade oak floors throughout the first and second stories, detailed trim work, rosette corner blocks, acanthus leaf newel topped posts & intricate glasswork. The first floor includes a formal living room w/ pocket doors, dining room, modern kitchen, back bedroom & 1/2 bath. The second story boasts a primary suite w/ sitting room complete w/ gas fireplace. Spacious Jack and Jill bath with walk-in sauna, full laundry room & additional back bedroom. Full walk up attic & dry basement w/ updated mechanics.
