Property Description

This is the one you've been waiting for. A stunning 5-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom center hall colonial that has been completely updated from top to bottom -- all the charm of a 1930s classic with every modern upgrade already done for you. From the moment you walk through the door, the character of this home shines. The grand foyer greets you with beautiful marble steps, setting the tone for the quality and craftsmanship found throughout. Gleaming hardwood floors flow through the living room, dining room, and two additional den spaces -- giving you all the room and flexibility you need. The electric fireplace adds warmth and ambiance, while the updated kitchen and baths bring everything you'd expect from a brand new home. Upstairs, five generously sized bedrooms offer plenty of space for the whole family. Outside, you'll find a spacious backyard and a 2-car garage -- a rare find in the city. The full basement adds even more storage and potential. All of this in an unbeatable Albany location -- minutes from I-90, hospitals, schools, and everything the city has to offer.
