EXCELLENT INVESTOR OPPORTUNITY or a solid home with room to grow- 1617 Gail Avenue delivers space, flexibility, and location in an established northwest Albany neighborhood just minutes from the mall, shopping, and everyday conveniences. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers nearly 2,000 square feet and is currently tenant-occupied at $875 per month, providing immediate rental income with strong potential for future rent growth based on the home's size, layout, and location- an attractive option for investors looking to add value over time while maintaining long-term appeal for owner-occupants. Situated on a desirable corner lot, the home welcomes you with a large open dining room just off the front entry, setting the tone for the generous layout throughout. Straight ahead, a spacious family room is filled with natural light from a wide expanse of windows overlooking the fenced backyard- an ideal spot to relax or entertain. New paint and warm pine paneling add character and charm, giving the home a cozy, inviting feel. The kitchen is conveniently located off the dining room with easy access to the laundry area, and it opens into a huge bonus room that works beautifully as a recreation room, playroom, or additional living space. This bonus area flows directly to both a covered patio- perfect for grilling- and an open patio ideal for entertaining, extending the living space outdoors. On the opposite side of the home, you'll find three comfortably sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, offering privacy and functionality for everyday living. Additional features include a double carport, a large enclosed carport that can easily serve as a bonus room or playroom, and a fully fenced rear yard- perfect for pets, play, or outdoor enjoyment. This wonderful home offers value, space, and versatility in a well-established neighborhood and is ready for its next chapter- whether that's continued rental income or welcoming a new owner. Should a buyer wish to owner-occupy, the current tenant can be provided the required 60-day notice, allowing for a smooth and well-planned transition.
