Welcome to this charming 4-bedroom home in upper Rensselaer—perfect for busy families, pets, and anyone who needs an affordable home. The first-floor primary bedroom is ideal. While the second floor offers a perfect spot for the kids-three bedrooms, a playroom/living area, and a cozy reading alcove.
Features include an eat-in kitchen with new easy-care flooring, first-floor laundry with stackable front loaders, 2 full baths, new flooring throughout, and great outdoor perks: a fully fenced yard, covered patio, and an enclosed back porch that doubles as the perfect kid, pet and mom-friendly mudroom.
Located just off Washington Ave, you'll enjoy an easy commute to Regeneron, downtown Albany, and major highways. At $239,000, it's an ideal opportunity for first-time buyers, young families, and anyone ready to build equity instead of paying rent.
