Built in 1945, this Art Moderne style single-story stucco home is a unique Allentown property offering an exceptional opportunity to create something truly spectacular as repairs are needed throughout the property, both inside and outside. With approximately 1662 square feet of living space, there is a large, open main room suitable for a combination living room/dining room with a fireplace with gas logs. The kitchen and bathroom need renovation and there are areas of walls and ceilings needing to be drywalled. The home currently has one bedroom (it previously had two). The current long-term owner of over thirty years has made important mechanical updates: there is a new main electrical service panel, the high efficiency furnace and central air conditioner were replaced in 2016, and the hot water tank was replaced in 2023. The rubber membrane roof was installed in 2007. There are three separate heated garage bays (with newer doors) which are accessible via Holloway Alley, a city-owned street which runs behind the property off Virginia Street. Features of the Art Moderne architectural movement abound–smooth exterior stucco walls, a flat roof, glass block windows, a curved wall and horizontal lines. Although this property needs work (there are existing housing violations which a new owner will need to address, the end result will be showstopping. Located in the Allentown Preservation District, close to the Medical Corridor, Downtown Buffalo and the Elmwood Village.
