Sharon’s Take
This 1879 row home in Rensselaer sits minutes from the Hudson River and downtown Albany, offering two bedrooms plus flexible office or nursery space. Recent updates include refreshed bathrooms on both floors with a first-floor soaker tub, a reimagined kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and new vinyl flooring throughout. The home features forced hot air heating, a fenced yard, and a full unfinished basement for storage or future expansion. Located near public transportation and the Albany-Rensselaer Amtrak station, the property provides direct access to the Capital Region and beyond, all within the Rensselaer Central school district and with no HOA.

About this property
Own a piece of Rensselaer history with this 1879 row home, just minutes from the Hudson River and downtown Albany. This 2 bedroom home also includes a flexible office or nursery space, and has been updated on both floors: refreshed bathrooms top and bottom, with a relaxing soaker tub on the first floor, plus a reimagined kitchen with stainless steel appliances. New vinyl flooring runs throughout for a clean, consistent finish, and forced hot air heat keeps things comfortable through every season. A fenced yard adds outdoor space that's hard to come by this close to the city center, and the full basement offers storage or room to grow. Location is where this property really earns its keep. Set close to public transportation and a short trip to the Albany-Rensselaer Amtrak station, this home puts tenants within easy reach of the entire Capital Region and beyond. Whether you're adding to an established rental portfolio or making your first move into investment property, this row home's history, character, and connectivity make it worth a serious look.
