BEAUTIFULLY MAINTAINED AND LOVED OVER THE YEARS, THIS PRECIOUS HOME IS SURE TO EXCEED EXPECTATIONS! The charm begins with the curb appeal and continues through the home's entirety. You'll love the decor and functionality of every room! The built-in desk/cabinetry in the kitchen area is fantastic! Both full baths so nicely updated! As far as efficiency goes...the mechanics were well thought out and are all top-of-the-line including radiant heat 1st floor, hot water on demand system, generator, solar panels with pre-paid lease! Windows replaced throughout. The attic has so much potential...could easily be made into more functional living space. 2 sets of washer/dryers! 1 set is in the basement; the other is in 2nd floor laundry closet! Back atrium doors lead to an adorable deck and yard! Fabulous location! Walk to New Scotland Ave featuring some of Albany's best eateries! Very close proximity to Albany Med. Twilight open house Thursday 9/24 4:30-6:30p.
Helderberg, located between Washington Park and the Helderberg Escarpment, is a residential and academic Albany neighborhood with tree-lined side streets and a hillside setting. Around New Scotland Avenue near the Albany Medical Center campus, a steady stream of cafés, corner markets, and takeout counters sets the neighborhood’s daily rhythm. St. Peter’s Hospital, Albany Medical Center, and the Albany Institute of History & Art serve as recognizable anchors tied to workday foot traffic and cultural outings. Housing leans toward early-20th-century colonials and brick apartment buildings, with porches and compact yards. Sidewalks and small greenspaces shape a walkable feel, while the slope brings long views and a quieter cadence away from the main corridors.
