343 Elmwood Avenue

About this home

If these walls could talk.... Rarely does a property of this caliber come to market. Presenting 343 Elmwood Avenue — The Philip Schaefer House, a landmark Victorian designed by the legendary E.B. Green in 1899 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Three stories of extraordinary architectural detail set on one of Buffalo's most coveted corridors between Allentown and Elmwood Village. Step through the front door into a grand foyer anchored by a sweeping carved staircase, rich original woodwork, and intricate leaded and stained glass windows that bathe every room in color and light. The showpiece library features floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving with fluted columns, a decorative fireplace, and arched leaded glass windows — an absolutely singular room. Additional fireplaces throughout the principal rooms, including a beautifully mantled example with original tile surround, add warmth and period character. A stunning glass-enclosed sunroom with original leaded glass transoms and terracotta tile flooring. Multiple private offices offer flexible configurations, and the three-story exterior presents a commanding columned front porch and classic Victorian silhouette. Currently operating as professional offices, the property offers tremendous versatility: restore to a grand single-family estate, continue as professional office space, or explore mixed-use residential and commercial opportunity. 14-car off-street parking is an exceptional asset in this location. A true piece of Buffalo's architectural soul, don't miss your opportunity to see in person.
