About This Home

As of January 2026

Welcome to 631 Saint Lawrence Avenue! This beautifully renovated 2 bed,1 bath in North Buffalo’s North Park/Starin neighborhood offers a complete top-to-bottom transformation blending super modern finishes with solid mid-century construction. The home has a manageable size, inviting layout, and solid footprint along with a desirable first-floor bedroom and first floor full bath, allowing the home to function very much like a sought-after ranch. The spacious, fully modernized kitchen features granite countertops, new cabinetry with brushed-nickel hardware, and SS appliances—including a dishwasher, over-the-range microwave, and five-burner gas stove—all included. The home’s 2nd bedroom is upstairs and offers a spacious, private living area with ample storage, cozy nooks, and a versatile landing that can function as additional massive closet space, a reading corner, or a small office area—making the entire upper area feel like its own retreat. The updates continue with new entry doors, storm doors, and all-new vinyl windows that bring abundant natural light into every room, while adding energy efficiency. Tying altogether is recessed lighting in every room, sleek black hardware, bright fresh trim, and new LVP flooring throughout the entire home, including the partially finished basement. The full basement includes laundry hookups, brand-new 50-gallon HWT (upgrade from standard 40-gal), updated 150-amp electrical service ('23), and HVAC ductwork that has been thoroughly cleaned by Stanley Steemer ('25) for optimal indoor air quality. Outside has new, maintenance-free vinyl siding and a welcoming front porch features maintenance-free vinyl railings and composite decking, along with a fully fenced yard. A one-car detached garage includes updated electric, power opener and add'l storage/workspace. Complemented by insanely affordable City of Buffalo property taxes, this home offers exceptional value for anyone seeking a turnkey property with thoughtful and carefully executed updates throughout. Open houses Sat 12/13: 1p-3p and Sun 12/14: 11a-1p. Seller reserves the right to set an offer deadline. Showings begin at Saturday's public open house 12/13: 1pm
