Built in 1920 and lovingly preserved, this one-of-a-kind residence delivers the craftsmanship of a bygone era with the space a modern family needs. The rough-cut stone façade makes an immediate impression from the street, and the sheer magnitude of the structure is nothing short of stunning — a commanding, perfectly symmetrical presence set well back behind a manicured lawn and mature landscaping. A full-width covered front porch framed by classical columns invites you in, while carved stone detailing above the windows and deep overhanging eaves reveal the quality that simply isn't built anymore. Inside, generously scaled rooms, original hardwood floors, and period woodwork create a home that feels both grand and genuinely livable. 7 bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged across two levels — 4 on the second floor and 3 more on the third, ideal for a large family, guests, or a private home office retreat. 3 full bathrooms and 3 half baths serve the home with ease. The full finished basement adds valuable flexible living space for a rec room, gym, or media lounge. Major updates are already done. Andersen windows throughout (2020), central air (2021), boiler (2023), and hot water tank (2017). Out back, the property truly sets itself apart. A sparkling in ground pool anchors a fully fenced private yard, framed by mature trees and complemented by patio seating, and a shaded lounge area. It's a rare backyard escape — the kind of setting you'd expect at a lakeside estate, tucked right here in the city. Homes of this scale, character, and condition rarely come to market in Buffalo.
