Property Description
Rare Opportunity in Top Neighborhood! Ideally situated near Albany's major hospitals, the University at Albany, and just a short walk to Pine Hills Elementary, the Albany Public Library, and the Upper Madison Gateway—home to excellent restaurants, Market 32, banks, and more. An unusual find on one of Albany's loveliest treed streets, this side-by-side duplex offers a rare combination of charm, space, and flexibility. Each unit mirrors the other with the exception of the kitchens. Both feature full attics, full basements with high ceilings, abundant storage, and a rear Bilco basement entry. One basement is partially finished. Utilities are fully separate, and both boilers have been updated. Original character shines throughout, including solid oak floors in excellent condition, leaded ''zipper'' windows, handsome hard-brick fireplaces with inlaid tile and oak mantels, and exceptionally large primary bedrooms. Updated thermal windows provide modern comfort while preserving classic appeal. The left unit retains its original pantry with extensive built-in cabinetry and drawers, while the right unit's kitchen has been updated with the removal of the pantry, adding newer cabinetry and solid-surface countertops. Outside, enjoy a large rear yard, fenced for privacy, with a two-car garage (no driveway to it) and additional off-street parking. Move-in ready with excellent income potential—live in one unit while the other helps pay your mortgage, or add a solid investment to your portfolio. A wonderful street, timeless charm, and outstanding location make this property truly special.
