Welcome to this beautifully updated 2-unit home in North Buffalo, quietly tucked away just off vibrant Hertel Avenue. The lower unit features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, with a renovated kitchen and updated baths that offer both style and functionality. The upper unit includes 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, with a spacious layout that provides comfortable living space. Throughout both units, you’ll find original hardwood floors, sun-drenched rooms, and a charming porch that adds warmth and character. The upstairs attic offers the potential to be finished, creating additional living or storage space to suit your needs. Additional perks include four off-street parking spaces, a newer roof (2014) and new tear off flat roof (porch) in fall 2024, updated hot water tanks (2021), and newer furnaces with a new A/C (Central Air Unit) with wifi controlled thermostat installed in the lower unit in 2021. Each unit has separate utilities with two 100-amp panels, and the basement includes two private storage units—ideal for tenants or owner use. A washer and dryer are also included, making the property move-in ready. This mixed-use property has been successfully used for house hacking, long-term tenants, and AirBnb short-term rental. Live in one unit and rent the other, close proximity to restaurants and shopping. The seller reserves the right to set an offer deadline date. Open House Saturday, April 19th 11 am-1 pm.
