Property Description
Own a piece of Rensselaer history with this 1879 row home, just minutes from the Hudson River and downtown Albany. This 2 bedroom home also includes a flexible office or nursery space, and has been updated on both floors: refreshed bathrooms top and bottom, with a relaxing soaker tub on the first floor, plus a reimagined kitchen with stainless steel appliances. New vinyl flooring runs throughout for a clean, consistent finish, and forced hot air heat keeps things comfortable through every season. A fenced yard adds outdoor space that's hard to come by this close to the city center, and the full basement offers storage or room to grow. Location is where this property really earns its keep. Set close to public transportation and a short trip to the Albany-Rensselaer Amtrak station, this home puts tenants within easy reach of the entire Capital Region and beyond. Whether you're adding to an established rental portfolio or making your first move into investment property, this row home's history, character, and connectivity make it worth a serious look.
