Amazing opportunity to own a beautiful property on a quiet neighborhood street, good size backyard with a detached garage with 2 spaces. Tenant occupied, purchase and immediately start making rental income.
Hamlin Park, located between Delaware Avenue and Main Street, is a residential and historic Buffalo neighborhood with a central park green and early-20th-century brick-and-frame streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Hamlin Park green at Beverly Road and Tillinghast Place, where porch-lined blocks face open lawns and shade trees. Housing reads as a catalog of Buffalo classics—Colonial Revival, Craftsman, and tidy duplexes—set on walkable, gridded streets. Cultural gravity sits nearby at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Burchfield Penney Art Center, and the historic Buffalo History Museum along Elmwood’s museum corridor. Days often orbit the park paths, playground time, and the café-and-gallery rhythm along Elmwood Avenue.
