Property Description

Offered for the first time in generations, this timeless home has been lovingly owned and meticulously maintained by the same family since it was built in 1919. This beautifully maintained 5 bedroom, 1.5 bath residence sits well back from the road on a picturesque double lot showcasing timeless craftsmanship and a level of care seldom found. Historic details remain throughout, including 9 foot ceilings, original wood, crown molding, and solid wood doors. 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. A rear sun porch offers a welcoming entry space and a peaceful place to start the day. The first floor also 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. Lovingly maintained for more than a century, this remarkable home is ready for its next chapter. Offers considered beginning July 14th at 12 noon.
