Offered for the first time in generations, this well-built and carefully maintained 5 bedroom, 1.5 bath residence presents a rare opportunity to make a classic older home your own. Set back from the road on a picturesque double lot, the home offers solid construction, and the kind of long-term care that provides an excellent foundation for thoughtful updates. With its 9 foot ceilings, original woodwork, crown molding, and solid wood doors, this property is ready for a new owner to preserve its character while modernizing finishes and amenities to suit today’s lifestyle.

The kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, Corian countertops, and a slide-in gas range, flowing into a bright morning room, ideal for casual dining and everyday living. A formal dining room with wainscoting connects the main living spaces, while large windows and beautiful leaded glass across the front of the home fill the interior with natural light. Under the carpeting is hardwood! A rear sun porch offers a welcoming entry space and a peaceful place to start the day. The first floor includes a bedroom with natural flexibility for use as a den or home office.

Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms with one opening to a private balcony overlooking the backyard. Each room reflects more than a century of care; this home feels warm, comfortable, and beautifully preserved.

The covered front porch offers a welcoming tone on arrival. Set along stately McKinley Parkway connecting South Buffalo and Lackawanna, the home is surrounded by mature maple and oak trees, established perennial gardens, and a generous setback from the road, creating an idyllic setting that evokes the grace and tranquility of a bygone era. A detached two car garage with a full second floor provides excellent storage.

Ideally situated in a location rich with history and natural beauty, the home is just a short walk from historic South Park, one of Olmsted’s landmark Buffalo parks. Enjoy shaded walking paths, expansive green spaces, and the renowned Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens just minutes from your doorstep. Nearby, the iconic Our Lady of Victory Basilica adds to the character and history of the neighborhood.
