Step into a piece of Buffalo's architectural history at 2917 Main Street, Unit 105, located in the renowned Bethune Lofts. Originally constructed in the late 1800s to early 1900s as the home of the Buffalo Meter Company, this historic building was later acquired by the University at Buffalo in the late 20th century to house its Department of Art and Architecture. It was then renamed Louise Blanchard Bethune Hall, honoring the first professional woman architect. In the 2000s, the structure was thoughtfully transformed into residential lofts and eventually condominiums, preserving its industrial character while introducing modern sophistication, bringing us to today's sought-after urban residences. Located just off Hertel Avenue, Unit 105 is a first-floor gem that blends historic industrial design with contemporary finishes. Soaring 14 foot ceilings, exposed ductwork, and oversized factory-style windows flood the space with natural light. The modern kitchen is perfect for entertaining, featuring granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Both bedrooms offer plush carpeting and ample closet space. The updated bathroom is spacious with modern fixtures for a polished look. Bethune Lofts is more than a place to live. Enjoy access to a impeccably maintained fitness center, inviting common areas, gated parking, secure storage, and on-site laundry. Positioned in a vibrant neighborhood, you're minutes from Hertel Avenue's boutique shops, restaurants, and nightlife, with quick access to downtown Buffalo, the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, and the University at Buffalo South Campus. Unit 105 is perfect for anyone craving a distinctive urban space, whether you enjoy city living, are an investor eyeing a prime rental, or simply drawn to the charm of historic-meets-modern living. Showings begin immediately. Seller reserves the right to set an offer deadline. Open house will be held Sunday, February 8 from 1-3PM.
