One of Buffalo’s most spectacular residences has popped up on Zillow under the “Make Me Move” heading. This is a category designed to ask a high price and see if anyone bites. In the case of this house the $985,000 ask seems like a bargain (although Zillow pegs its fair rice at just over $736,000).
This is a truly spectacular house that has been renovated and kept in like new condition. It is big and filled with fire places and tons of intricate woodwork. It also comes with big lush backyard sporting a gazebos and a little babbling brook. The 5,344 square foot house, built in 1890, has 7 bedrooms with 23 rooms total. It is described as a single family but in pictures appears to have a third floor apartment. The house last sold for $262,0000 in 2004. Taxes were $1,666 in 2016.
