Smart Investing Meets Classic North Buffalo Charm!
Get ready to get out of the rent cycle and step into an incredible equity-building opportunity at 422 Colvin Avenue. Perfectly positioned on a deep 35' x 150' lot, this substantial 1922 duplex is the ultimate setup for an owner-occupant looking to live style-consciously while a tenant covers a massive chunk of the monthly mortgage.
The lower 3-bedroom apartment welcomes you with a bright, open living and dining combination flooded with natural cross-lighting, showcasing gorgeous original hardwood floors and natural wood accents. The heart of the unit is a spacious, highly functional kitchen anchored by classic ceramic tile flooring, extensive prep space, a built-in dishwasher, and rich butcher block countertops. Three comfortable bedrooms and a crisp bathroom featuring ceramic tile and a newer vanity complete the main level.
Upstairs, the mirroring 3-bedroom layout provides fantastic appeal, complete with its own private outdoor upper balcony and direct bonus access to the attic.
Forget the typical maintenance anxieties that come with city doubles. A massive capital improvement sweep by a previous owner in 2020 took care of all the heavy lifting. - Roof: Complete, full tear-off roof (2020) - Driveway & Garage: A brand-new concrete driveway pad and 2 new garage doors for the 378 sq ft detached garage Mechanicals & Convenience: 2 entirely separate, updated electrical services and convenient dedicated laundry hookups.
Out back, you'll find a rare urban luxury: a massive, L-shaped, fully fenced private backyard that serves as your own secluded oasis for pets, gardening, or summer hosting. Boasting a phenomenal Walk Score of 97/100, this location is spectacular. Leave your car parked in the driveway and stroll to local neighborhood parks, recreational spots, and the vibrant, bustling stretch of dining, coffee shops, and boutiques along Hertel Avenue.
Downstairs Unit will not be available for any showings without a purchase contract.
