About this home

Welcome to 160 Dorchester Rd, a beautifully preserved 1917 gem set on one of Buffalo's most picturesque, tree lined streets, the kind that rarely comes up for sale. This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home blends timeless architectural character with real, recent updates, giving buyers the best of both worlds. Step inside to gleaming hardwood floors throughout and a stunning commercial size Viking kitchen stove, room for a kitchen island if desired, bathed in afternoon sun, already with generous counter and prep space for everyday living or entertaining. French doors lead into a formal dining room with soaring coffered ceilings, and the inviting living room centers around a cozy fireplace, perfect for cooler nights ahead. The front porch is made for morning coffee or evening unwinding. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a designer accent wall, recessed lighting, and its own fireplace, while a freshly renovated tile full bath round out the second floor, along with two additional bedrooms. The third floor adds two bright bonus rooms with impressive ceiling height, ideal as a home office, den, or guest space, complete with built in storage and truly unique views, Richardson Towers to the north and city of Buffalo to the south. Major systems are already handled for you: a brand new tear off roof in 2022, an updated high efficiency boiler, recently replaced gutters, and generously sized electrical service. Outside, enjoy a private garage, driveway, and a composite patio perfect for entertaining with grass area for outside games. With over 2,600 square feet of thoughtfully maintained space on one of the neighborhood's most sought after streets, this is a rare opportunity in today's market. Square footage increase from tax records captures 3rd floor finished space with 2 rooms for office/den etc. as measured by Agent.
