134 Linwood Avenue Buffalo NY 14209 MLS #B1603865

Built in 1894 and located in the Linwood Preservation District, this home offers timeless character and rich architectural detail throughout. A wide front door opens to a tiled foyer w/oak wainscoting, arched accents and a built-in bench beneath a wood-framed mirror. Grand 8ft doors and cased openings plus three sets of pocket doors connect the main rooms, creating openness while preserving each space’s distinct charm. The front parlor leads into a living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, framed by curved wood accents and windows that add architectural interest. From there, the formal dining room features a leaded-glass bay window, built-in banquet, oak wainscoting and hardwood flooring, which continues into the kitchen featuring plentiful cabinetry, appliances and an oversized window overlooking the backyard. The main floor bedroom offers a fireplace, built-in bookshelf and generous closets that open to a sunroom w/hardwoods and backyard access. Leaded glass windows, tall ceilings and detailed moldings continue throughout, offering a consistent thread of original charm. A stained-glass window w/rare pink glass adds a distinctive touch to the stairwell leading upstairs, where you’ll find spacious bedrooms w/deep closets, including one w/its own full bath. The upper living area offers a flexible space to suit a variety of needs along w/plenty of natural light and the 2nd full bath features a vintage tub. Just off the upstairs kitchen, a covered balcony w/awning provides a quiet spot to overlook the yard and the walk-in attic provides room to expand, host gatherings or simply enjoy abundant storage. Mechanicals are solid and well-maintained w/2 updated furnaces (each w/annual servicing), separate 100amp electrical panels, hot water heater (2019), two sump pumps (2020) w/battery backup, drain tile in basement (2017) and architectural roof (2010). This wonderfully original piece of historic architecture is ready to be appreciated, preserved and thoughtfully continued into its next chapter. Showings begin 5/9 @ 12pm.
