Built in 1940, 28 Douglas Road is a charming example of Garrison Revival, a late variation of Colonial Revival architecture distinguished by its characteristic second-story overhang, or jetty. The original wood siding remains intact, along with many of the home's historic details, including traditional window shutters accented by decorative shutter dogs. Inside, the 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath home features a wood-burning fireplace in the family room and retains much of the character that has made these houses enduringly appealing. A covered side porch and patio extend the living space outdoors, while the one-car garage and full basement provide useful storage and workspace. The home has been lovingly maintained and improved for decades. The basement features an epoxy floor installed in 2022 and an Adirondack Basement system installed in 2017. Additional updates include a newer roof and washer and dryer from 2025. Set on Douglas Road in the heart of Olde Delmar, the home is convenient to the Four Corners, the Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail, Bethlehem Public Library, Bethlehem YMCA, Delaware Ave, and the Delmar Bypass, in the highly sought-after Bethlehem Central School District. For a house that has seen more than eight decades of life, 28 Douglas Road retains a remarkable amount of what made it distinctive in the first place.

Delmar, located between Albany’s Buckingham Lake area and the hamlet of Slingerlands, is a residential and commercial Albany neighborhood with a walkable main street and a leafy, low-rise streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Delaware Avenue near the Four Corners, where coffee counters, local eateries, and small storefronts line the sidewalks. The Delaware Theatre, Perfect Blend Cafe, and The Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza serve as familiar cultural touchpoints. Side streets feature mid-century ranches and Cape Cods mixed with older colonials, set behind mature trees. Rail-trail segments and pocket parks shape a routine of walks and bike rides. The pace stays calm off the avenue, with daily errands oriented to Delaware Avenue and nearby plazas.
