Description

*Open House Sat 10/3 11a-1p* Fall for the charm of an Albany classic--with the light, space and outdoor living you've been hoping to find! This 4 bed,1.5 bath 1920's Colonial home has curb appeal galore and is set on an elevated corner lot along a beautiful tree-lined Melrose street for a little more breathing room from the neighbors. Step inside the gracious entrance foyer to warm hardwood floors that flow from room to room, beautiful original woodwork, decorative radiator covers and lofty ceilings. Oversized windows fill the home with natural light, creating bright, inviting spaces for relaxing, entertaining or working from home. Whip up dinner in the updated eat-in kitchen with newer stainless steel appliances. Host gatherings in the formal dining room. Relax in the spacious living room or curl up with a good book surrounded by sun loving house plants in the tucked away sunroom. At day's end retreat to your ample bedroom upstairs, and in the morning get fresh in the retro minty green tiled bathroom. Sip your morning coffee on the back porch watching the outdoor play in the fully fenced backyard framed by lush, easy-care plantings that offer a private green escape without spending every weekend on yardwork. Fire up the grill for friends gathered on the huge elevated deck. There is room to store it all in the massive walk-up attic. A rare 2 car garage with openers means no scraping snow off the car on frosty mornings. The roof is just 16 years old, so you can have the peace of mind that there is lots of life left. The woodburning fireplace has not been used and is sold as-is. Just a short commute to Albany's hospitals, colleges, NYS Campus and Nanotech complex, with plenty of shopping, dining and parks nearby.
