OPEN HOUSE: July 25th, 1130A - 130P Originally constructed as a historic carriage house, 2 Spring Street has been completely reimagined as a distinctive modern residence on a rare double lot in Center Square, Albany. The thoughtfully designed home offers 3 bedrooms, including 2 en-suite, 3.5 bathrooms, and a flexible den/home office, with one bedroom opening to a charming Juliet balcony. Hardwood floors extend throughout the first floor, Marvin Ultimate windows provide abundant natural light, and generous closets and exceptional storage space add everyday functionality throughout the home. At the heart of the residence is a chef's kitchen featuring an oversized island, extensive cabinetry, generous counter space, and a complete appliance package including a washer and dryer. Year-round comfort is provided by a Samsung ducted heat-pump system for heating and cooling, complemented by major improvements including a new roof and a building envelope insulated with closed-cell spray foam. The exterior is equally impressive, with a gated paver driveway providing parking for at least two vehicles, an EV charger, hot tub, custom-built cedar shed, paver patio, and newly installed lawn. The property is prewired for exterior security cameras. Blending the character of a historic carriage house with modern systems, thoughtful design, private parking, and exceptional outdoor space, 2 Spring Street offers a rare opportunity to enjoy distinctive Albany living on a double lot.
Central Avenue, located between Downtown Albany and Colonie, is a commercial and residential Albany neighborhood with a long retail corridor and a patchwork of side-street blocks. The character concentrates around Central Avenue at Lark Street, where late-night slices, small galleries, and corner bars spill light onto the sidewalks. Community pillars include the Palace Theatre, the Albany Institute of History & Art, and the Madison Theatre. Brick rowhouses and older apartment buildings sit behind storefront strips, giving the area a lived-in, walk-and-stop rhythm. Washington Park frames the south end with broad lawns and looping paths, while bus stops and cross-streets keep the corridor in constant motion. Cafes, international groceries, and long-running eateries line the avenue, with murals and marquee lights adding texture after dark.
