Property Description
Own a piece of American history with The John Hooper House at 153 2nd Ave, Troy — once owned by Harriet Tubman's cousin (1848-1888) and a stop on the Underground Railroad where Tubman herself stayed. Featured in HBO's The Gilded Age, this 4-bed, 2-bath, 2,310 sq. ft. two-unit property blends historic charm with investment potential. The upstairs showpiece rents for $1,800+, while the reliable downstairs tenant manages upkeep. Just 2 blocks from downtown and 1 block from Washington Park, it's walkable to the river, Prospect Park, Russell Sage, and RPI. Ideal for investors or history lovers — this cash-flowing landmark won't last long!
