A distinctive three-story brick office building offering 4,960± SF of character-rich commercial space on a prominent corner at Main Street & Morris Avenue in Buffalo’s vibrant University Heights district. Built in 1945, the property retains exceptional period detail—rich oak paneling, hand-painted wall murals, a grand turned staircase, decorative fireplaces, and leaded-glass windows—while functioning comfortably as professional office space across three floors of private offices, a sunlit conference room, and reception and common areas. Zoned N-3R under Buffalo’s Green Code, the site permits a versatile mix of commercial and residential uses—ideal for an owner-user, professional firm, or investor. The 0.22-acre corner lot includes a paved rear lot and a detached two-car garage—a rare amenity in this transit-served corridor served by NFTA Metro Rail, minutes from UB South Campus. This property is also listed as Commercial ML# B1687906
