About this home
Step back in time without leaving behind modern comfort. This beautifully preserved 1890 attached single-family home on one of Albany's most sought-after streets offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and nearly 2,000 sq ft of character-rich living space spread across three floors. Original architectural details are complemented by thoughtful updates, creating a home that's as livable as it is lovely. Stay comfortable year-round with hot air heat and central air conditioning. Out back, a beautiful garden provides a private retreat -- perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The dry basement offers excellent storage space, a rare and welcome bonus in a home of this era. Set in the vibrant Upper Madison neighborhood, you're steps from the Madison Avenue dining and café scene, the Madison Theater, and the energy of Russell Sage College -- yet tucked on a quiet, tree-lined street. Commuters will appreciate easy access to downtown Albany and the Capitol.
Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizer, or looking for a place with genuine Albany soul, this one checks the boxes....
