About this House
Built in 1920 and lovingly preserved, this one-of-a-kind residence delivers the craftsmanship of a bygone era with the space a modern family needs. The rough-cut stone façade makes an immediate impression from the street, and the sheer magnitude of the structure is nothing short of stunning — a commanding, perfectly symmetrical presence set well back behind a manicured lawn and mature landscaping. A full-width covered front porch framed by classical columns invites you in, while carved stone detailing above the windows and deep overhanging eaves reveal the quality that simply isn't built anymore. Inside, generously scaled rooms, original hardwood floors, and period woodwork create a home that feels both grand and genuinely livable. 7 bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged across two levels — 4 on the second floor and 3 more on the third, ideal for a large family, guests, or a private home office retreat. 3 full bathrooms and 3 half baths serve the home with ease. The full finished basement adds valuable flexible living space for a rec room, gym, or media lounge. Major updates are already done. Andersen windows throughout (2020), central air (2021), boiler (2023), and hot water tank (2017). Out back, the property truly sets itself apart. A sparkling in ground pool anchors a fully fenced private yard, framed by mature trees and complemented by patio seating, and a shaded lounge area. It's a rare backyard escape — the kind of setting you'd expect at a lakeside estate, tucked right here in the city. Homes of this scale, character, and condition rarely come to market in Buffalo.

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageEver since I've graduated from this place, I still feel that sad feeling in my heart knowing I won't be able to be with the amazing teachers I was with throughout my years of going there.This school teaches students not only advanced academics but teaches students how to be who they want, they pursue students into following their dreams, making students feel better when they're down, helping with grades no matter the time, and so much more things that I couldn't put into this simple review.I have seen the reviews for this place, and they do look pretty bad from my point of view, but based of my experince I can assure you that this place has changed for the greater good.If you are a parent looking for a school for your child, bring them here all the way until they are 8th graders, and they will explain to you how great there time was here at waterfront, just like how I did.Student Review2mo ago - West Hertel Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers and administrators of this school are wonderful and truly care about the kids. They try to host events and include the community, but it is clear they do not have adequate funding to do so in a larger capacity. I have three children that attend this school and we are currently applying to different schools solely due to the non stop fights and lack of consequences that occur daily. There are fights at all grade levels daily, disrespectful students who interrupt classes and learning for the other students, and a severe lack of consequence or discipline to stop these behaviors.At drop off/pick up I have witnessed students yelling at teachers, walking away while being spoken to, a clear disregard. The teachers do the best they can, but there must be a lack of support that nothing has been implemented to address these concerns. Its unfortunate. Otherwise, we love the diversity and community at this school.Parent Review3mo ago - Discovery School
