Set amongst mature trees and gracious homes, this classic brick Delmar Colonial offers the space, character and comfortable layout that make a house feel like home. Enjoy a walkable location close to the Four Corners, parks, schools and neighborhood amenities. A welcoming entry leads into the spacious living room with a bay window and fireplace. The family room provides further gathering space, with its own fireplace and atrium door to the private backyard. The dining room, with pocket doors, flows naturally into the renovated and very well-appointed kitchen, which features another atrium door to the backyard. A convenient entry from the garage leads to a mudroom and laundry room, making everyday living especially practical. Thoughtful architectural details abound from the wainscoting and built-in cabinetry, to the crown molding and picture molding, to attractive light fixtures and recessed lighting, to three fireplaces (one decorative) that provide warmth and character. Upstairs are four bedrooms and two full baths, including a private primary en suite. The finished basement adds two more versatile rooms--perfect for movie nights, board games, hobbies or simply hanging out. A bluestone patio and mature landscaping create an outdoor oasis ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A charming home in a wonderful, walkable setting, with the space and character to comfortably accommodate everyday life as well as gatherings with family and friends - what more can you ask for?

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.
