This 2,080-square-foot, two-story residence, originally constructed in 1869, is situated at 261 W Tupper St #N in Buffalo, New York. Positioned with convenient transit access to downtown Buffalo, Allentown, Elmwood Village, the city waterfront, and regional highways, the property is currently configured as a single-family home. It retains structural features from its past layout as a two-family residence, offering future conversion flexibility.
The exterior features a covered front porch built in 2023 by Kaz Home Improvements, displaying traditional trim work, structural stairs, and updated front and side entry doors equipped with keyless entry systems. The home occupies a 2,365-square-foot city lot that includes a newly poured concrete two-car parking pad completed in April 2026.
The interior layout features high ceilings, hardwood flooring, a central wood staircase, and oversized vinyl replacement windows. The entire interior was repainted in April 2026. The main level includes a kitchen styled with granite countertops, an eat-at center island, a wine chiller, a stainless steel stove, and a refrigerator and dishwasher both replaced in 2025. This level also accommodates a full bathroom and a flexible bonus room suitable for use as an office, den, or fifth bedroom.
The second floor houses the primary bedroom quarters alongside a dedicated laundry room. The home also features a full walk-up attic providing unconditioned storage or expansion space. Structural and mechanical maintenance includes a hot water tank replacement in 2019, yearly boiler servicing, and professional basement stabilization work performed by Frank’s Basement with a transferable warranty. Energy efficiency upgrades feature a smart thermostat and a fully owned roof-mounted solar panel system installed in November 2021, which connects to a dedicated electric vehicle (EV) charging station added in 2024.
