Description

Designed by and built for renowned mid-20th-century Albany architect Leon Einhorn, this spacious split-level brick home blends architectural pedigree with modern comfort. Set on one of Albany's most coveted streets, it offers a rare combination of timeless elegance, thoughtful design, and exceptional livability. Inside, exposed brick walls, vaulted ceilings, and gleaming maple floors create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. Large windows and skylights fill the home with natural light, highlighting generously proportioned rooms and an effortless flow from the living room to the dining room and into the renovated kitchen. The living room's gas fireplace adds both convenience and ambiance, while the kitchen opens to a sunroom with direct access from both the kitchen and dining room, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection and a serene spot for morning coffee or year-round relaxation. The lower level is thoughtfully divided into two distinct areas. One wing offers a versatile private suite with a full bath — ideal as a home office, guest quarters, media room, or second primary bedroom. The adjoining living area features a cozy wood-burning stove and walk-out access to the backyard, creating a comfortable retreat with a natural extension to the outdoor spaces. Outdoors, the private backyard oasis is designed for relaxation and entertaining. A concrete patio sits just steps from the house, perfect for outdoor dining, while a second patio surrounds the in-ground pool, offering a resort-like setting for summer enjoyment. This architect-designed home delivers character, space, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living in one of Albany's most desirable neighborhoods.
