Set in Rensselaer's prime area of Eastland Park, this unique brick 3-bedroom ranch home was custom-built to owner's specs by a well-regarded old-world local craftsman and is the last dwelling on its dead-end street. (Low/no traffic is perfect for multi-guest parking & quiet.) Single-car attached garage home has central air (floor vents) and inexpensive gas hot-water baseboard heat. It offers hardwood floors throughout, except the bathrooms’, which are tiled w/marble threshholds. The main front entry is via the foyer, with adjacent kitchen which affords a bird’s-eye-view of neighbor's ¼-acre continuously tended lawn, artfully arranged with extensive floral areas. Facing the property's rear wooded area is a huge screened-in porch (accessed directly from living room's glass-wall slider) that can easily be converted to 3- or 4-season room for additional living space or even transformed into a deck. Note that this wooded section is spacious enough for both a pool + lawn area, and, if desired, could also be repurposed. Last but not least, and possibly best of all, is the (hidden) ground-floor in-law studio apartment (renovated) potentially for use by a family member or, since it was grandfathered by the City years ago, it may be rented legally. (Think monthly mortgage or annual property/school tax payments) Finally, as location is everything in real estate, this house offers that in spades: Merely a 5-minute drive to all things commercial & retail that anyone could possibly want (shops, grocery, fast-food, banks, restaurants, convenience stores, drug chains, automotive, etc.) plus 10 minutes to the area’s Amtrak station and/or downtown Albany; a 5-minute access to I-90, either East (Boston) or West (Buffalo) and 20 minutes to the Albany International Airport.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
