About This Home
Welcome to 876 Lafayette Ave, a beautifully restored 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial that perfectly blends timeless character with thoughtful updates in the heart of Buffalo and stone throw from Gates Circle. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by stunning original woodwork that has been carefully restored, paired with fresh paint throughout the entire home to create a bright, clean, and inviting feel filled with natural light. The spacious layout offers incredible flexibility, featuring both a front and back staircase for added functionality and classic charm. The living and dining areas are ideal for everyday living and entertaining, with French doors in the dining room leading to a back deck that overlooks a fully fenced yard. In the kitchen you'll find stainless steel appliances with updated cabinetry and butcher block countertops. A covered front porch adds even more space to relax and enjoy the summer ahead. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers built-in storage plus two closets, providing both character and practical storage. One of the additional bedrooms features its own private balcony overlooking the backyard, creating a unique and peaceful retreat. With five total bedrooms, there is plenty of space for guests, work-from-home setups, or growing needs. The home also includes the convenience of first-floor laundry and has undergone important improvements, including full lead-based paint testing and remediation approved through the City of Buffalo, followed by fresh interior painting for peace of mind. This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready home with restored historic details, modern updates, and exceptional space, all in a prime Buffalo location with 1 off street parking space. Square footage has been updated to reflect the current floor plans. Offers, if any, have been requested by the seller to begin review and negotiations on Tuesday, April 21st 12 PM.
