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.
