Sharon’s Take
This 1876 Victorian townhome in Center Square blends historic charm with modern updates. The main floor features a spacious living room with original crown molding, fireplace with marble surround, and mirror detail, flowing into a dining area and updated eat-in kitchen. Upstairs holds four bedrooms including a second-floor master with bay window, gas heating, and ample closet space, plus washer and dryer for convenience. The fully finished basement currently serves as additional living quarters and could be converted to a rental apartment. Recent upgrades include a new gas combination boiler and hot water system, and the landscaped yard offers outdoor space. Albany's capital location provides access to cultural institutions, diverse dining, and proximity to the Adirondacks.
