Property Description

Fall for the charm of the 1920s without giving up modern comforts with this stylish 4 bedroom, 2 full bath Colonial home with a private backyard in Albany's popular Melrose neighborhood. Arrive to a wide front porch made to watch the world go by then step inside to an open, flowing layout where gleaming hardwood floors and beautiful original woodwork bring warmth and personality to every room. Whip up favorite recipes in the maple kitchen with sleek black quartz counters and handy pantry storage. When friends arrive, gather around the table in the formal dining room where a stained-glass window casts colorful light across the room and a velvet-upholstered window seat practically begs for a sunbathing cat. Curl up beside the wood-burning fireplace in the living room, flanked by built-in shelving ready for books, art and favorite finds. Next door, spin some vinyl, stream a movie, or settle in for game night in the family room beneath its handsome coffered ceiling. A built-in corner cabinet adds character, while original pocket doors let you open the rooms for a crowd or close them for a cozy night in. When the weather calls you outside, take dinner to the patio and enjoy the privacy of your backyard. Upstairs, linger over lazy mornings in the spacious primary bedroom with walk-in closet, then recharge in the spa-like bath beneath a light-filled skylight. Sink into the Jacuzzi tub or refresh in the separate frameless-glass walk-in shower. A second full bathroom downstairs gives everyone options when mornings get busy. There's room to store it all in the huge walk up attic with cedar closet. Central A/C, tankless hot water, and 1st floor laundry with ventless washer & dryer make life easier, while 2 driveways provide off-street parking for at least 4 cars plus 1 space in the shared garage. Just a short commute to Albany's hospitals, colleges, NYS Campus and the Nanotech complex. Plus lots of shopping & dining nearby. Garage sold 'as is
