Troy, NY 12180 · Rensselaer County
Thoughtfully updated and brimming with original charm, this Brunswick beauty at 165 S Lake Ave delivers the kind of combination that's genuinely hard to find -- classic character intact, modern systems in place, and a recently remodeled kitchen that earns every compliment it gets. Kohler farmhouse sink, shaker-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, skylights, and bamboo floors make it a space you'll actually want to cook in. The layout includes 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths across two floors. The main level features a separate dining area, 1st floor laundry room, renovated half bath, and that showstopper kitchen. Upstairs holds all three bedrooms with original oak hardwood floors, and a fully remodeled full bath with exposed brick -- a nod to the home's vintage roots that somehow feels completely current. Outside, a long private driveway leads to a detached garage with electric already run -- including EV-ready power for the next owner. A classic front porch invites you to slow down and stay a while, and the mature trees and generous lot create a natural sense of privacy. Vacant land directly behind the property means no rear neighbors -- just open space and breathing room. All new plumbing and electrical completed four years ago. Nest-controlled HVAC and Nest smoke and CO detectors throughout. This one has been done right -- inside and out.
