501 West Ave, Buffalo, NY 14213

Everything Is New. Everything.

There's renovated, and then there's 501 West Avenue.

This isn't a property where the seller swapped out a few fixtures and called it a day. This is a ground-up, permit-pulled, architect-approved, city-inspected transformation of a classic Buffalo double — and the result is something the West Side hasn't seen in a long time: a fully vacant, move-in ready two-family where literally everything is new.

The Mechanicals Tell the Story

Start where buyers should always start — the systems. Both units received brand new high-efficiency forced air furnaces in 2026. Brand new gas hot water tanks in 2026. The entire electrical system was rebuilt from scratch in 2026 — every wire, every switch, every outlet, every fixture. All new copper and PEX supply lines, all new PVC drain lines, all new gas pipe with meters relocated outside. The plumbing waste lines, the hot and cold supply — replaced, every single one. When we say everything is new, we mean it in the most literal sense possible.

The Bones You Can't Replicate

But here's what makes 501 West special: underneath all that new infrastructure, the original character was preserved and restored. The foyer showcases original wood floors and a fully restored staircase — railings, spindles, and all. The lower unit retains its original hardwood floors throughout the living room, dining room, and (2/3) bedrooms. This is the combination buyers spend years looking for: the warmth and craftsmanship of a century-old Buffalo home, with the reliability of a brand new build.

The Finishes Match the Investment

Both kitchens are completely renovated with solid surface stone countertops, undermount sinks, pantry cabinet walls, and refrigerators built in. The lower unit comes fully equipped with brand new stainless steel, high-end appliances. Both bathrooms are fully renovated — the lower features tile floors, a walk-in shower, and a ceramic tile tub surround. New interior doors with new hinges and hardware throughout. New exterior doors. New vinyl windows throughout. New floors in most rooms. Brand new front porches — rebuilt with architect plans and building permits. New front landscaping. Fully fenced backyard ready for grass seed.

The roof? Full tear-off, less than one year old — house roof, porch roof, and the driveway-side bayed structure. The back exterior features new vinyl siding and aluminum window wrapping installed less than six months ago. Every visible inch of this property reflects the same standard.

The Opportunity

Two vacant 3-bed/1-bath units on a 35' x 149' deep city lot — that's a rare footprint in this zip code. Zoned N-2R. Full basement. Full walk-up attic. Concrete driveway. Each unit has its own gas and electric meter. Set your own rents, choose your own tenants, and start generating income from day one.

At $400,000, this is what fully renovated looks like on the West Side. The comparable math works for an owner-occupant letting the upstairs cover the mortgage, and it works just as well for the investor looking for a stabilized asset with zero deferred maintenance.

100% permitted. 100% approved by the City of Buffalo. 100% ready.
