    What's special

    Check out this really cool cottage renovation in an emerging section of Buffalo's West Side. 288 Potomac Ave. is just steps from newly redeveloped Grant and Potomac, Gypsy Parlor, Guercio's and Sweetness 7. From here you are a 5-minute walk to Elmwood Ave. and all of its offerings and a 5-minute walk to Buffalo State College. Available January 1st. The cottage sits contiguous to a community garden. As it is a rear cottage, you have no immediate neighbor to the east, rather just a wooded lot for your own use - it's amazingly private and park-like back there! Large ceramic tiled eat-in kitchen offers pass through to the dining room, granite countertops, new white gas stove, refrigerator and built-in microwave, new cream colored cabinets and subway tiled backsplash. Living room, dining room and two bedrooms have refinished hardwood floors. Two equal sized bedrooms are on the smaller side but have full closets. All new vinyl replacement windows offer great light throughout. Small but efficient bathroom with charming claw-foot tub. Laundry/mud room entrance has storage, washer/dryer and ladder to attic for loads of storage. There is no basement, dishwasher or driveway. There are quiet courteous professional neighbors occupying the front two-family house. I will patiently wait to secure the same in the rear cottage. No smokers please. Small dog or cat OK with add'l sec dep. Tenant pays for gas, electric and cable. Landlord pays for water, garbage and lawn service. Security, first month's rent and completed application all due prior to occupancy. Please respond to this ad via email if you are interested, have questions or want to have a look. Thanks! Owner pays trash, sewer, lawn service. Tenant pays gas, electric and cable.
