About this home
This beautifully updated home blends classic architecture with thoughtful modern improvements. High ceilings, refinished hardwood floors (2020), wood moldings, built-in shelving, and jewel-toned paint colors create a warm, inviting atmosphere full of character. The kitchen has been opened up to maximize natural light and improve the flow for everyday living and entertaining.
The enclosed front porch extends the living space from spring through fall and provides convenient storage during the winter. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard complete with a patio and pergola--an ideal setting for relaxing, gardening, or gathering with friends. A walk-up attic offers easy-access storage, and the home's walkable location puts neighborhood restaurants, shops, and local favorites just a short stroll away.
Behind the scenes, you'll find numerous significant updates that provide peace of mind, including a roof less than 10 years old, replacement windows, a new electrical service and panel (2019), conversion from oil to a high-efficiency condensing natural gas boiler (2019), new gutters (2022), and an energy-efficient heat pump water heater (2022).
If you're looking for a home with classic Albany character, modern efficiency, and a location that lets you enjoy everything the neighborhood has to offer, this one is not to be missed....
