About This Home
Located in the heart of Buffalo’s vibrant Five Points neighborhood, this rare offering includes 38 Brayton Street and the separately deeded 33 Bremen Street (B1703782), creating an incredible opportunity for homeowners, investors, or builders looking to make their mark. Just steps from neighborhood favorites including Five Points Bakery, Remedy House, Butter Block, Extra Extra Pizza, Urban Roots Coop Market, and everything that has made Buffalo’s West Side one of the city’s most sought-after communities, this property offers the perfect blend of location and potential. Renovation of the existing home has already begun, providing the next owner with a valuable head start toward creating a one-of-a-kind residence. Significant structural work has been completed, including demolition of the existing bathroom, kitchen, and rear addition, repair and reinforcement of the floor framing with additional joists, installation of new floor sheathing, and preparation for future plumbing improvements, allowing you to focus on bringing your own vision and finishes to life. The included rear lot at 33 Bremen Street expands the possibilities even further and may serve as a potential buildable residential lot, a private driveway and garage site for the existing home, or additional outdoor living space, subject to buyer verification and municipal approvals. The cleared lot offers available utilities at the street and is zoned for residential use. Whether you’re dreaming of designing a modern city home, creating additional value with a second buildable parcel, or investing in one of Buffalo’s fastest-growing neighborhoods, opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. Bring your architect, your contractor, and your imagination, and transform this unique property into something truly special while enjoying the walkable restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and neighborhood charm that continue to make Five Points one of Buffalo’s most desirable destinations.
