Set on one of Western New York’s most respected streets, 78 Rumsey Road is the rare home that balances architectural gravitas with everyday livability. This is not a trend-chasing property. It’s a residence with roots, rhythm, and restraint. Nearby: the Elmwood Village, the Delaware Park, beautiful and famous Buffalo Architecture including our museums and galleries all within 1 mile. From the moment you arrive, the home signals permanence—mature landscaping, thoughtful proportions, and a presence that feels settled, confident, and intentional. Inside, light moves easily through well-scaled rooms designed for real life: gracious entertaining, quiet mornings, and evenings that linger. Original character has been preserved where it matters, while updates have been approached with a steady hand—never loud, never careless. The result is a home that feels curated, not renovated. Comfortable without being casual. Elegant without pretense. The layout offers flexibility for today’s living while honoring the craftsmanship of an earlier era. Whether hosting a full dining room, gathering by the fire, or finding a quiet corner to retreat, the house adapts without losing itself.
78 Rumsey is for someone who understands that the best homes don’t shout. They endure. A legacy address. A meaningful home.
