About 578 Richmond Ave
Welcome to 578 Richmond Avenue – A Rare Elmwood Village Victorian Masterpiece. Step into a piece of Buffalo’s rich architectural history with this stunning turn-of-the-century Victorian, prominently situated in the heart of the Elmwood Village.

This one-of-a-kind residence offers 4 beautiful units, an in-law suite, and an oversized 2-car garage, all thoughtfully preserved and updated for modern living.
