Welcome to 578 Richmond Avenue – A Rare Elmwood Village Victorian Masterpiece. Step into a piece of Buffalo’s rich architectural history with this stunning turn-of-the-century Victorian, prominently situated in the heart of the Elmwood Village. Built by a successful lumber baron, this remarkable property is as grand in history as it is in scale, once serving as the home of Buffalo's First Church of the Nazarene. This one-of-a-kind residence offers 4 beautiful units, an in-law suite, and an oversized 2-car garage, all thoughtfully preserved and updated for modern living. Original millwork, soaring ceilings, and fine architectural details are found throughout, showcasing the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The expansive owner's unit occupies the entire first floor, featuring gracious formal living and dining rooms, an exceptionally spacious kitchen, and three bedrooms. The rear of this unit transitions seamlessly into an attached in-law suite, currently used as a grand family room with cathedral ceilings, full kitchen, additional bedroom, 1.5 baths, and spiral staircase leading to a charming loft with access to a private second-floor deck overlooking the beautiful backyard. In total, the owner's unit offers 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and ample room for entertaining or multigenerational living. The 3 rental apartments each offer their own unique charm. The front second-floor unit is filled with natural light and character, boasting 1 bedroom, a spacious living and dining area overlooking Richmond Avenue. The rear second-floor unit is warm and inviting with one bedroom, kitchen, living room, and bath. The third-floor unit is a true showstopper—an expansive two-bedroom apartment featuring a large living room, formal dining area, eat-in kitchen, office nook, full bath, built-ins, beamed ceilings, and timeless original details. This is more than just a home—it's a legacy property offering versatility, income potential, and a unique blend of historic character and modern convenience. Showings begin Friday, July 18th at 5:00 PM. Offers will be reviewed after Wednesday, July 23rd at 11:00 AM. Don’t miss your chance to own one of Elmwood Village’s architectural crown jewels!
