Welcome to 259 Lexington Avenue, a beautifully updated Victorian home in the heart of Buffalo's highly sought-after Elmwood Village, where timeless architectural character meets modern comfort and convenience.
Situated on a rare double lot, this exceptional property offers something truly difficult to find in the Elmwood Village: an expansive driveway with ample off-street parking and a generously sized, beautifully landscaped backyard. Whether hosting summer gatherings, entertaining on the patio, or enjoying your own private outdoor retreat, this property provides an extraordinary amount of space in one of Buffalo's most desirable neighborhoods.
Inside, the home seamlessly blends historic charm with thoughtful, recent renovations. Beautiful hardwood floors, original woodwork, stained-glass windows, and a distinctive fireplace preserve the character that makes Elmwood Village homes so special. The recently remodeled kitchen and bathrooms feature stylish, contemporary finishes, while a convenient mudroom provides practical everyday functionality. An upstairs bedroom features a spacious walk-in closet with custom California Closets organization, offering exceptional storage. The home's exterior was freshly painted just one year ago.
The finished third floor offers substantial additional flexible living space, perfect for a family room, playroom, or recreation area, along with a separate room ideally suited for a private home office. Major improvements, including a roof and HVAC system both less than 10 years old, provide additional peace of mind.
