Built circa 1900-1910 and located in the heart of Elmwood Village near historic Gate Circle, 758 Lafayette Avenue presents a rare opportunity to own a distinctive Prairie-style Arts & Crafts residence in one of Buffalo's most coveted neighborhoods. Brick and stucco, exposed rafter tails and an original slate roof introduce a home where historic character meets modern comfort. Exceptional original details include beamed ceilings, hardwood and inlaid wood floors, leaded glass windows, unique banister spindles and a striking stained-glass window overlooking the foyer. Four exquisite chandeliers highlight the home's architectural character, while a contemporary chandelier in the renovated kitchen adds a modern counterpoint. With six bedrooms and 3.5 baths, the home offers gracious scale for living and entertaining. Generously proportioned living and dining rooms accommodate intimate dinners or large holiday gatherings. A gas fireplace anchors the living room, while the adjoining sunroom provides a light-filled retreat. The beautifully renovated kitchen features top-of-the-line cabinetry, a built-in wet bar and heated floors. Both second-floor bathrooms have also been fully renovated. The third floor offers exceptional flexibility as a private guest suite with two bedrooms, full bath and living area, with space for an office, workout or media room. Outside, a sizeable fully fenced backyard framed by mature arborvitae offers exceptional privacy, while turf creates a polished, low-maintenance space for relaxing, entertaining and pets. A new aggregate driveway and two-car garage complete the property. The original slate roof receives annual professional maintenance. Major improvements include updated electrical, copper plumbing and two-zone central air and heating, with furnaces and A/C units updated within the past five years. Rich in history, architectural distinction and craftsmanship, 758 Lafayette offers the rare combination of a grand historic Buffalo residence with the comfort and versatility of modern living. Showings start at the Broker's Open on Thursday, August 27th at 11AM. Offers to be reviewed as they are received. Sq footage reflect plans attached.
