Property Description
Character meets modern comfort in this beautifully maintained two-story Albany home. Step into gleaming hardwood floors that flow throughout this 1920's classic leading you into a living room where stained-glass windows cast warm, colorful light and a working wood-burning stove creates a natural gathering spot. The updated kitchen offers the comfort of radiant-heated floors, the convenience of stainless steel appliances and opens to a designated dining room for easy everyday meals and entertaining. Upstairs, enjoy four spacious, comfortable bedrooms and updated full bath. Space feels easy and intentional, with a clever collection of bonus areas: an enclosed, heated front sunroom that extends your living space, a practical mudroom with direct yard access, and an enclosed balcony off a bedroom, perfect for journaling, yoga, or a quiet call. Outside, the private vinyl-fenced yard sets the scene, with a floating deck perfect for outdoor dining and relaxed evenings. Practical wins abound; a detached 2-car garage plus off-street parking, on-demand high-efficiency heat & hot water, replacement windows, a vintage Pittsburgh potty in the basement, and a full walk-up attic for all the gear life brings. Location seals it: minutes to Albany Med and St. Peter's, and an easy walk to local eateries, coffee, parks, and neighborhood favorites. Beautifully maintained and truly loved, this home is ready to host your first holiday gathering—pie in the oven, fire crackling, guests arriving with smiles. Welcome home!
