Listing Description

Bring Home Happiness in this stunning West Side bungalow that has been renovated top to bottom for stylish, easy, one-floor living! Offering 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath and 1,008 square feet, this circa 1890 cottage blends vintage character with modern industrial-farmhouse finishes.

Low-maintenance curb appeal starts with a red metal roof, charcoal vertical siding and a full-width covered front porch with composite decking. Step inside to a show-stopping great room with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed iron tie rods, recessed lighting and a reclaimed barnwood beam that sets the tone for the whole home.

The open floor plan flows right into a designer eat-in kitchen featuring white shaker cabinetry with matte black hardware, a huge peninsula with breakfast bar seating, storage and prep space, open wood shelving, pantry cabinet and refrigerator, gas range, microwave, dishwasher and washer - all included!

Sun-filled dining area with industrial pulley lighting and custom built-in shelving. Rich stained 6-panel wood doors and wide craftsman-style trim add warmth against durable wood-look plank flooring that runs throughout - no carpet anywhere. Convenient first floor laundry with utility sink.

Updated full bath with tub/shower surround, pedestal sink and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures. The rear primary bedroom is a true retreat with vaulted ceiling, reclaimed wood beams, track lighting, French doors and a walk-in closet. Second bedroom with ceiling fan works great as a guest room or home office.

Mechanically sound with high-efficiency forced air furnace, gas hot water tank, circuit breakers and replacement windows. Basement offers bonus storage. Out back, enjoy a deep 151 foot lot with a private, partially fenced yard, raised garden beds, mature trees and plenty of room for a patio or firepit.

Fantastic location just steps to the shops, cafes and restaurants of Grant Street and minutes to Buffalo State, Elmwood Village, Niagara Street, the waterfront, Peace Bridge and the I-190. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizing or an investor looking for a turnkey rental, this home checks every box so don't wait on this one.
