Cornerstone Lofts is a two-story conversion of a turn-of-the-century brick church in Buffalo that now houses twelve individually configured condominium units. Completed with a full historic renovation, the project preserves masonry walls, stained glass accents, exposed brick and tall, cathedral-style volumes while introducing contemporary systems such as high-efficiency furnaces, tankless water heaters, and in-unit laundry. Units range from compact one-bedroom garden-level flats to multi-level lofts with mezzanine bedrooms and two-story living rooms. Interiors emphasize open-plan living with features like quartz counters, kitchen islands or breakfast bars, European-style cabinetry, glass-tile backsplashes, and engineered plank flooring; many homes have lofty cathedral ceilings, ceiling fans, and programmable thermostats. Several residences include walk-out balconies or private patios and at least one assigned off-street parking space per condo. Common qualities include foyer entries, formal and informal dining configurations, pantry storage, and contemporary mechanical upgrades while retaining historic character. The building sits within walking distance of Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo State, Hoyt Lake and the Albright-Knox, providing direct access to neighborhood restaurants, parks, cultural institutions, and easy connections to downtown and the Thruway.
