Welcome to 53 Choate Avenue. This is a well maintained 2-story home with classic character. Boasting original hardwood floors throughout, this 3-bedroom home feels warm and inviting from the moment you walk in. The spacious kitchen offers abundant counter space and opens directly into the formal dining room; great for entertaining. The open living room features a versatile bonus space separated by elegant French doors—the ideal "work-from-home" office, playroom, or a sun-drenched study. Upstairs, the home features three comfortable bedrooms, each uniquely offering ample closet space, along with the home’s full bathroom. The full basement provides plenty of additional storage and houses the updated furnace and a newly upgraded electrical box.
The exterior of the home features updated vinyl siding, a freshly paved driveway (2018), and a modern garage built in 2016 that includes a covered concrete patio—perfect for hosting summer get togethers. The fully fenced yard creates a safe and private retreat for pets and entertaining. Enjoy the convenience of being minutes from the Tifft Nature Preserve, the Buffalo Botanical Gardens, and South Buffalo’s legendary historic restaurants and pubs. Whether you are a first-time buyer, a "fixer-upper" enthusiast, or an investor, this home offers incredible value and a "move-in ready" feel.
