Home Sweet Home'' perfectly captures the spirit of this beautifully crafted and lovingly maintained Cape Cod dwelling. Built in 1940 by Mr. May--for whom the neighboring street is named--and designed by noted architect Royal Barry Wills, who was noted as a ''master'' of the Cape Cod style design, this sun-filled residence offers both warmth and character. Set on a spacious, picturesque lot shaded by a magnificent magnolia and mature trees, the property provides an ideal backdrop for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing in a peaceful setting. Inside, gleaming hardwood floors run throughout, enhancing the home's classic charm. The first floor features both a living room (with a dramatic picture window) and a comfortable family room-- each with its own fireplace (wood-burning in the living room, gas in the family room)--along with a cheery kitchen, formal dining room, and full bath. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms, including one with polished wood walls that reflect the home's historic character, as well as an additional full bath. The finished lower level offers a nostalgic, retro retreat, complete with a large den and gas fireplace--perfect as a media room, man cave, or cozy gathering spot. The unfinished area houses laundry and utilities. Practical updates and thoughtful maintenance include a regularly serviced slate roof with heat cables in the gutters and upper roofline to prevent ice buildup, a three-zone heating system, two air conditioning units (one per floor), and a water heater just two years young. Adding a distinctive touch of local history, the stately stainless steel flagpole at the end of the drive was originally part of the entrance grounds to Albany's historic Ten Eyck Hotel.
