Sharon’s Take
This 1930 Cape Cod on Colonial Avenue sits on a quiet cul de sac in Albany's Buckingham Pond neighborhood, offering 2,025 square feet of living space across three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. The main floor includes two bedrooms, one and a half baths, and first-floor laundry for convenience, while upstairs a primary suite with skylights and a flexible paneled room provide additional options. The eat-in kitchen features vaulted ceilings and granite counters opening to a tiered deck and screened porch overlooking a fenced yard, and the living room anchors a fireplace with built-in shelving. Recent updates include new windows, insulation, central air, a dual duct mini split system, and natural gas heating; an attached garage and shed provide storage. The location offers proximity to Buckingham Lake Park, St. Peter's Hospital, Route 85, and the NYS Thruway. The home is in the Albany Central school district with no HOA.
