Description

Welcome to 699 Richmond Avenue — a beautifully updated Elmwood Village home where historic craftsmanship and modern comfort come together effortlessly. Ideally located just moments from Elmwood Village shopping and dining, Delaware Park, Bidwell Parkway, Buffalo State College, the farmers market, and eligible for Olmsted School, this home offers the lifestyle buyers are looking for.

Inside, sunlit living spaces showcase rich hardwood floors, original woodwork, and timeless architectural detail. The living room features custom built-ins and a classic fireplace (not currently in use), while French doors added in 2023 open to the backyard and create seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
