Welcome to this classic Craftsman bungalow in the heart of North Buffalo, offering beautiful original detail, warm character, and flexible living space. This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home features natural woodwork, hardwood floors in the living and dining rooms, stained glass windows, and a charming wood-burning fireplace. The entry foyer and dining room each include original built-in storage benches that highlight the home’s craftsmanship. A rare double staircase adds both convenience and architectural appeal.
The kitchen opens into a bright and versatile space ideal for a breakfast nook, home office, or second dining area, complete with a closet that works perfectly as a pantry. Fresh interior and exterior paint, along with new flooring and carpeting, have been completed within the last two months, balancing modern refresh with preserved historic charm.
Upstairs you’ll find a large and open landing area, vinyl replacement windows, an oversized linen closet, and hardwood flooring under the carpeting for those who may wish to expose it. A charming upper porch provides additional seasonal living space.
Outdoors, the seller has loved relaxing in the fully fenced yard, enjoying the deck, gardens, and beautiful mature shade tree. Additional features include an approximately 10-year architectural roof and generous storage spaces throughout the home. Conveniently located near the North Park Community School, Hertel Avenue shops and dining, Delaware Park, and city conveniences.
A truly special North Buffalo home filled with warmth, character, and timeless appeal.
