Welcome to 188 Como Ave, a distinguished residence set along a graceful, tree-lined street just steps from Abbott Road in the heart of South Buffalo's storied Irish Heritage District—celebrated as New York State’s largest historic district. This home blends architectural authenticity with refined comfort, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Buffalo’s cultural legacy. A solid wood entry door framed by leaded-glass sidelights introduces the home’s timeless character. Inside, a generous foyer showcases original millwork, a beautifully preserved split staircase banister, and rich hardwood floors that flow throughout the main living spaces, creating an ambiance of understated elegance. The home features three well-appointed bedrooms, each offering generous closet space and serene natural light. Replacement windows throughout enhance both efficiency and comfort, while the furnace and central air system, installed approximately five years ago, ensure modern reliability. Concrete driveway leads to the two-car detached garage. This home’s historic pedigree may also unlock a unique financial advantage: owner-occupants may be eligible for the New York State Historic Homeownership Rehabilitation Credit, offering a 20% state income-tax credit for qualifying restoration work, subject to property and census-tract eligibility and required approvals. 188 Como Ave is a rare blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and opportunity—an address that invites you to live beautifully within one of Buffalo’s most treasured neighborhoods.
