About this home

Stunning Allentown Mixed-Use Opportunity! Located in the heart of Allentown, this historic circa 1860 property is one of Buffalo’s oldest buildings—formerly home to the historic McClellan Music House. It features a long-term salon tenant on the first floor who also resides in the third-floor studio apartment, offering both stability and pride of occupancy. The inviting third-floor studio showcases beautiful original flooring, a modern kitchen, and an abundance of natural light. The second floor includes two vacant units, ready for your vision. Recent updates include fresh interior and exterior paint, updated plumbing, electrical, newer heating systems, and windows. Additional highlights include off-street parking for five vehicles and a covered loading dock with easy access to additional storage space and/or future rental opportunity. Steps from Allen Street, the Medical Corridor, Theater District, and Elmwood Village, this location offers exceptional convenience—and is among the first streets cleared during winter due to its priority route near the Medical Corridor. A rare chance to own a piece of Buffalo history in one of the city’s most vibrant and in-demand neighborhoods.
