## Description

### Agent Description
Classic 1920s Duplex with Unbeatable Walkability Why pay a full mortgage when you can let an upper tenant help pay it for you? Welcome to 272 Commonwealth Ave, a charming, 1920s double that perfectly captures the architectural character of North Buffalo. Why You'll Love Living Here: Space to Breathe: The massive lower unit boasts 1,585 sq ft of comfortable living space, while the upper unit offers 1,369 sq ft and access to a beautiful 209 sq ft open upper porch-perfect for morning coffee. The Ultimate Urban Lifestyle: Leave the car at home and walk over to the North Buffalo Ice Rink, local neighborhood parks, or the endless dining, coffee shops, and boutique shopping along Hertel Avenue. The Income-Generator: The equally charming 1,369 sq ft upper unit is perfect for a reliable tenant, long-term rental income, or a seamless multi-generational living setup. Plus, it features a fantastic 209 sq ft open upper porch-ideal for relaxing summer evenings. Premium Perks: Say goodbye to street parking battles with a private driveway (updated in 2018) and a spacious 520 sq ft detached 2-car garage. This 272 Commonwealth double is the smart, low-stress way to plant your roots in North Buffalo. Great for an owner occupant or an investor looking for a turnkey property to add to their portfolio.
