About this home
Welcome to 157 Hartwell, a well-maintained North Buffalo double offering nearly 2,500 square feet, with two spacious units each featuring three bedrooms and one bath. The property boasts numerous cosmetic updates and improvements to all major mechanical systems, along with a two-car garage, extensive off-street parking, and a fully fenced backyard. Conveniently nestled between the Village of Kenmore and Hertel Avenue, this home is within walking distance of both areas and their shops, restaurants, and amenities. Updates include: 2 new high-efficiency Lennox furnaces and hybrid high-efficiency water heaters for both units, along with a new electrical service line, 150-amp service, and two new electrical panels all done in late 2025. Interior updates completed in 2024 include new lower-unit living room carpet, luxury vinyl plank flooring in the lower-unit bedroom and hallway, new upper-unit living and dining room flooring, and refreshed paint and trim throughout both units. Additional highlights include newer windows and light fixtures, lower bathtub redone in July 2026, and exterior dusk-to-dawn lighting installed at the front and side of the home. A new custom awning and frame were added in 2025 for the 2nd story porch. It will be stored prior to closing. The garage received a new door in 2024 and was fully painted in 2026. The roof is a total tear off and approximately 15 years old. Whole-house security system installed in 2025 is negotiable with the sale. All listed appliances included in sale. The upper unit previously rented for $1,575 per month. Some photos reflect previously occupied spaces, they ARE NOT virtually staged. Both units pictured are now vacant.

North Delaware, located between Delaware Avenue and Main Street, is a residential and cultural Buffalo neighborhood with tree-lined parkways and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Delaware Avenue near Gates Circle, where galleries, coffee counters, and polished dining rooms share the boulevard with grand apartment buildings. Elmwood Village’s independent storefronts and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery campus help set the area’s creative tempo. Frank Lloyd Wright’s Darwin D. Martin House adds a landmark note of Prairie School design. Side streets mix brick colonials, classic doubles, and stately mansions, while nearby parkland frames daily routines. The pace feels composed, with walkable blocks linking museums, cafés, and green space.
