251 Parkwood Ave, Buffalo, NY, 14217
About This Home
Welcome to 251 Parkwood Avenue, your chance to own a move-in ready, low-maintenance 4-bedroom home on one of Kenmore's most beloved tree-lined streets. This is the kind of neighborhood where the streets are quiet, the trees are tall, and the community feels like home before you even unpack. Step through the front door and natural light greets you immediately. The living room is bright and inviting, with a large window that draws you forward into a seamless dining and kitchen combo. The kitchen delivers where it counts with generous counter space, ample storage, and a breakfast bar that makes the whole space feel open and connected. This is a layout that just works. Down the hall you'll find the first bedroom tucked conveniently next to a tasteful, modern full bath. Just across the hall the entrance to a spacious basement awaits, an impressive footprint that handles all your storage needs and then some. Head upstairs and three more bedrooms await, each freshly finished with brand new drywall, paint, and carpet throughout. The half bath is functional and ready for your personal touch. And the fourth bedroom features a skylight, because sometimes the best ceiling is the night sky. This home has been loved and updated thoughtfully over the years, and is genuinely ready for its next owner.
