Set in the Kenmore School District, 251 Wendel Ave blends comfort, character, and thoughtful updates in a location close to everything. Step inside to an inviting first floor featuring an eat-in kitchen with included appliances, a bright dining area, and a full bath refreshed with a 2025 Bath Fitter upgrade. The spacious living room stretches more than 22 feet and offers the perfect pairing of a cozy wood-burning fireplace for winter evenings and a mini split system that keeps the home cool through the summer. A convenient first-floor bedroom rounds out this level. Upstairs, a charming second bedroom with hardwood floors connects to an attic area ideal for storage or a future finished space. The fully finished basement expands your living options with a sizable recreation area, a bar setup, and a utility room complete with a washer and dryer.
The backyard is fully fenced and includes a shed, a newer hot tub, and a backyard drainage system that helps keep the area usable through all seasons. A detached 2-car garage adds even more storage and function, paired with a newer door and opener. Recent updates include fresh interior paint (2025), a furnace installed in 2020, an AO Smith hot water tank (2015), updated second-floor bedroom windows, leaf guards on the house gutters, and a 2024 sump pump with backup. The location places you minutes from UB’s North and South Campuses, quick access to the I-290, and a variety of nearby restaurants, shops, and everyday conveniences. Seller is open to offering a credit toward the stained carpeting with the right offer. Showings begin immediately, and offers will be reviewed as they are received. *Open House Saturday, 12/13 CANCELLED*
