Built in 1871, this Italianate home combines timeless architectural beauty with modern updates. Original details such as ornate moldings, pocket doors, corner cabinet, elaborate fireplace mantels, and decorative trim remain intact, while upgrades include central A/C, skylights, a walk-in tub, and updated kitchen and laundry appliances.
The roof top offers sweeping views of downtown Albany, Rensselaer, and the Empire State Plaza, with the Berkshires, Helderbergs, and Catskills visible on clear days - perfect for sunsets, sunrises, and fireworks. The backyard patio, shaded by hydrangea and forsythia, offers a quiet retreat for gardening or relaxation.
A ROP for the garden apartment offers rental income if desired. This flexible space can be closed off from the main home or adapted into a family room with an additional private guest suite.
The location is unmatched in the heart of Albany between 2 strong neighborhood associations - Hudson/Park and Center Square. You'll quickly realize why Albany has been named the #1 place to live in New York State by U.S. News & World Report. The diverse neighborhood offers a true sense of community. The neighborhood associations and Historic Albany Foundation work to preserve its character, while cultural attractions like the Albany Institute of History & Art, the New York State Museum, and the Albany Public Library enrich daily life. Residents enjoy concerts at The Egg, the farmer's market, the Tulip Festival, music on the Plaza, and ice skating in winter. Washington Park, Lincoln Park, and the Hudson River/Corning Preserve provide trails, gardens, and recreation just blocks away. Dining options abound with local favorites such as Dove and Deer, Iron Gate Café, Rosanna's, Rain and Lark Street Tavern, plus groceries at Market 32 and Lark Natural Foods.
This rare property offers historic elegance, modern comfort, and income potential in the heart of Albany's most vibrant neighborhood. On street residential permit parking.
