    What's special

    This three-story (5300 SQFT) Roman brick townhouse was designed and constructed by Alexander Selkirk at the end of the 19th Century. The building stands high in the heart of Center Square. Just steps to Washington Park, Albany Med., State/Legislative buildings, downtown, galleries, notable eateries, shops & MORE. It's currently a single-family residence and can continue to be restored, or, can easily be converted into 3 luxury apartments. Many original details are still adorned throughout such as stained-glass transoms (State & West facades) and copper cornice decorated with lions' head. Many updates. Freshly painted throughout. Possible off-street. Sold as-is.

    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.
