Quality craftsmanship and exceptional care define this stately Kenmore ranch overlooking a town-maintained park. A tiled foyer opens to sprawling hardwood floors and a light-filled layout, including an expansive formal living room with picture and bay windows and a dedicated formal dining room. The tiled eat-in kitchen features updated cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless steel stove. An inviting rear family room/sunroom addition offers a natural gas fireplace, built-in speakers and a wall-mounted TV bracket. Two dedicated bedrooms are complemented by a flexible third bedroom or den with extensive built-in cabinetry and an integrated Bang & Olufsen speaker system. The primary bedroom enjoys charming corner windows with park views, while the tiled full bath overlooks the home's beautifully landscaped backyard. A decorative bridge, garden statuary and a diverse collection of mature plantings create a distinctive outdoor retreat. The partially finished basement provides substantial additional recreation space with TV mounts, a bar-top area, second full bath with walk-in shower, handmade custom pantry, dedicated storage and laundry areas. An attached one-car garage with a stately wood garage door adds everyday convenience. Notable improvements include a newer boiler and water heater, vinyl replacement windows, an architectural roof and high-definition vinyl siding with the appearance of cedar shake. If enduring quality, thoughtful detail and pride of ownership are what you seek, look no further. Showings commence immediately.

About Kenmore
Northwest
Kenmore Northwest, located between Delaware Avenue and the Niagara River, is a residential and walkable Tonawanda neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a canal-side edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Delaware Avenue near Kenmore Avenue, where old-school storefronts, corner eateries, and small service shops keep the sidewalks active. Community pillars include Anderson’s Frozen Custard, the Kenmore Mercy Hospital campus, and the historic Riviera Theatre just to the south. Housing leans toward early-20th-century bungalows and compact colonials with tidy porches and mature shade trees. Side streets stay calm while Delaware Avenue carries the daily rhythm of errands and coffee runs. Green space and water views shape the geography, with paths and parks tracing the river and canal corridors.
