For just under $700,000 you can have this spectacular Buffalo mansion at 580 West Ferry in the Elmwood Village. While that is a price well above the budget of most people it would be a steal in many cities. Perhaps you are an expat with thoughts of maybe returning to buffalo? Maybe you have a $700,000 one bedroom condo you would like to trade in for this beauty? Come and get it.
This has always been one of my favorite buildings, but I thought it had been chopped up into several apartments and had little hope that the interior was in good condition. As you can see from the realtor’s pictures here the interior is in spectacular condition with lots’ and lot’s of original detail. The rooms flow elegantly together form the magnificent stair hall, to the sun lit living rooms, to the incredible dining room with its dark wood paneling and beams. There are even some attractive modern upgrades
Check out the amazing view of the columns out the front bedroom windows!
The listing says it has had over $200K in recent upgrades and describes it as a grand Georgian Colonial built in 1900 with 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, and a third floor ballroom. The living room is a whopping 19 feet x 30 ft.
The house last sold in 2008 for $430,000 and pays a not bad $2,265 in taxes (which seems like a typo to me). More info and images at this link here.
