Wait...there's HOW much house here?! This freshly painted Albany ranch packs a whole lot of living into a smart footprint. The first level is 876ft, but do not miss out on the entirely finished basement doubling that size! Hardwood floors run throughout the main level, where two bedrooms and a spacious living room make for comfortable, easy living. You'll find a third bedroom in the basement, (with a side room attached), a kitchenette, a full bath, family room, and laundry, plus a completed private egress for easy access to and from the outside and interior access from the main level. That's a functional second living level, not an afterthought. Outside, a new vinyl fence defines the property and frames the expansive backyard on nearly half an acre -- plenty of room to stretch out, entertain, or just enjoy the quiet. You're minutes from downtown Albany for work, dining, and everything the city offers, with The Crossings of Colonie right nearby for trails, green space, and fresh air. Easy access to major routes like I-90 and Route 9 and puts the whole Capital Region (and beyond) within reach. Fresh, functional, and offering more living space than the first floor lets on -- come see what's hiding downstairs.
Bishop's Gate, located between Western Avenue and Washington Avenue, is a residential and institutional Albany neighborhood with leafy side streets and a campus-edge feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Western Avenue corridor near UAlbany’s Downtown Campus, where coffee counters, casual lunch spots, and student-facing storefronts set a steady weekday rhythm. Brick apartment buildings and older frame houses mix with academic buildings, giving blocks a tidy, lived-in texture. Washington Park’s paths and lawns shape the outdoor routine nearby, while Lark Street adds galleries and late-afternoon café energy. The Madison Theatre and The Egg at Empire State Plaza serve as cultural anchors for film and performance nights. Albany Institute of History & Art rounds out the area’s museum-grade counterpoint to the collegiate pace.
