Typically I have focused on just one real-estate listing at a time when I do one of these stories. This week there were a handful of interesting houses on the market and I could not decide which one to feature. So, let’s do them all.
18 Essex – Asking $???
This is not your traditional house. This west side brick industrial building has been converted to a live work loft. It boasts over 4,000 square feet on two levels, a fire-place, a garage, and skylights. If you are interested in this one you may to too late. When I went back to find the price while finish this story I found that the listing had been removed. In this quickly appreciating West Richmond neighborhood it is likely sold already. Ahh such is the life of a buyer in Buffalo these days. Here is the realtor’s description:
Stunning contemporary loft in the heart of Elmwood Village/West Side. 4000sf of space, currently utilized as living/studio space w/ 2 car indoor parking. Loft unit built out w/ double-height ceilings, loft room, 2 full bths, & bdrm. Spectacular skylights throughout. Studio space could be renovated into additional living space. Walkout rooftop access to amazing views could be deck/gardens. One of a kind opportunity on one of the cities quaintest streets centrally located to all Elmwood Village & West Side amenities. This is a remarkable, rare opportunity to own a piece of Buffalo’s heritage.
67 Cleveland – Asking $539,000
This Elmwood Village Victorian gives you modern sensibilities and historic charm all in one package.
