Welcome to 699 Richmond Avenue — a beautifully updated Elmwood Village home where historic craftsmanship and modern comfort come together effortlessly. Ideally located just moments from Elmwood Village shopping and dining, Delaware Park, Bidwell Parkway, Buffalo State College, the farmers market, and eligible for Olmsted School, this home offers the lifestyle buyers are looking for.
Inside, sunlit living spaces showcase rich hardwood floors, original woodwork, and timeless architectural detail. The living room features custom built-ins and a classic fireplace (not currently in use), while French doors added in 2023 open to the backyard and create seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
The kitchen was completely renovated in 2020 and blends style and function with quartz countertops, farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar seating, wired Sonos ceiling speakers, and exposed brick accents. It opens directly into the formal dining room with coffered ceilings — an ideal setting for gatherings both large and small.
Upstairs offers four bedrooms and 1.5 baths, including a conveniently added half bath on the staircase landing. A fully finished third floor provides generous bonus space with potential for a fifth bedroom, office, or guest retreat.
Major improvements include drain tile system (2019), sump pump (2020), kitchen renovation (2020), front porch (2021), complete tear-off roof (2023), backyard fencing (2019), stone pavers (2024), updated living room window (2025), and forced-air heating with central air conditioning. A city-approved parking pad adds rare and valuable convenience for urban living.
Warm, light-filled, and thoughtfully updated, 699 Richmond offers the perfect balance of period charm and modern ease in one of Buffalo’s most beloved neighborhoods.
