Welcome to 172 Altruria Street, a side-by-side duplex in South Buffalo offering two spacious, townhouse-style units. Each apartment features nearly 1,800 sq ft over two floors with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, in-unit laundry, and original character including woodwork, interior doors, and stained glass. With no upstairs neighbor, each side lives more like a single-family home than a typical Buffalo double. The property offers separate gas and electric meters, helping minimize owner expenses, along with a full basement under both units for storage, a roof replaced in 2015, and off-street parking for the right-side unit. One unit is leased through January 2027, providing income from day one. The vacant unit needs a few cosmetic updates, offering the perfect opportunity to add your own finishes before moving in or leasing at current market rents. Whether you’re an investor looking to add a spacious, income-producing asset to your portfolio or an owner-occupant seeking to offset your mortgage, this is a rare opportunity to own a duplex with a layout that truly stands out.
