About This Home
Welcome to 262 Sterling Avenue! A MUST-SEE to appreciate this move-in-ready 3/3 double, ideal for either owner-occupied or added to your investment portfolio. The upper unit tenant welcomes the opportunity to extend his tenancy with the new owner, providing instant cash flow with a quiet, respectful, and highly responsible tenant in place. As you walk up the driveway, you will notice a beautiful brick-and-vinyl exterior with the desired front upper balcony (19x8) and two rear decks (9x7). The white vinyl fencing creates a focal point for the perennial garden on your way to the two-car garage with attached storage space. Don't miss the spacious front foyer (with original woodwork) and separate entrances to both units. The lower unit is freshly painted with new carpeting, just waiting for you to move in! The upper unit was tastefully renovated 3 years ago. Central A/C is found in both units. The full attic provides many possibilities; your imagination is required! The basement is partially finished with two good-sized rooms. This is the property you have been waiting for! Neighborhood charm meets urban conveniences. Close to the Hertel strip, Delaware Park, Buffalo Zoo, and many restaurants to enjoy. Offers will be reviewed as received. The Seller reserves the right to set an offer deadline.
