About this home

Ready to get into the Buffalo market without overpaying? 38 Lewis Street is an honest fixer-upper with real upside, and it's vacant, so you can move in, renovate, or rent it out on your own timeline. The main floor offers two bedrooms, a formal dining area for family dinners or game nights, a spacious kitchen you can make your own, and the everyday convenience of first-floor laundry. Out back, a cozy yard and a blacktop driveway with off-street parking offer something harder to find in the city than you'd think. Low-maintenance vinyl siding handles the exterior, so you can put your time and budget where they matter most: inside. And then there's the upstairs. The unfinished upper level is a blank canvas waiting to become a third bedroom, home office, or bonus living space, adding square footage and value once it's finished. If you can see past the cosmetics and know what a little sweat equity can do, this is the one. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a flipper, or an investor building a rental portfolio, 38 Lewis Street is a project worth taking seriously.
