About this home

Welcome to historic Linwood Avenue, where timeless architecture meets modern luxury. Designed by renowned architect Dwayne Lyman in his signature Italianate style, this remarkable two-family home offers a rare combination of elegance, functionality, and income potential. Perfect for an owner-occupant, the expansive three-story primary residence features gleaming hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, abundant natural light, and recessed lighting throughout. With three bedrooms, an office, 2.5 bathrooms, in-unit laundry, and a stunning en suite primary, every detail has been thoughtfully curated. Mini-split systems keep the home comfortable in warmer months, while the layout provides the comfort and feel of a single-family residence. The second three-story unit mirrors the charm, offering three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a Jack & Jill bath on the second floor and a private en suite on the third. Hardwood floors, generous natural light, and spacious living areas make it equally inviting. Both units enjoy private outdoor spaces, ample parking, and separate basements for storage. Outside, vibrant landscaping, newer windows, and a 10-year-young roof add to the appeal. With the tenant-occupied unit generating $2, 075 per month, this property not only delivers exceptional living but also offers a strong income stream to help offset your mortgage or serve as a high-end investment in one of Buffalo’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Open House Saturday 8/16/2025 from 11a-1p.
