Welcome to this beautifully updated move-in ready home located in the heart of Rensselaer! Everything has been refreshed, so you can move in and start enjoying it right away. Inside, you'll find brand-new flooring throughout and fresh paint on every wall. The all-new kitchen features new cabinetry, modern finishes, and tile flooring. The main bath has been completely updated with tile for a clean, timeless look. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms offer comfortable living space. Downstairs, a bright sunroom just off the dining room makes a flexible space for a home office, reading nook, or guest room, and a convenient half bath rounds out the main level. The big-ticket items are already done: new roof, new water heater, updated electrical, and updated plumbing. That means fewer surprises and real peace of mind. Outside, take in views of the river. The lot offers potential, whether you envision a future garage, a garden, or outdoor entertaining space. Just minutes from downtown Albany, the Amtrak station, local parks, major highways, and shopping. A turnkey home with updated systems and room to grow. Schedule your private showing today!
