475 Glen Street

About this property

Open House Sun 8/30 from 11 am - 1 pm. Some homes are decorated. This one was built in an era when a house on Glen Street was meant to be looked at. Set on a double city lot at the corner of Jefferson, this 1900 Victorian holds its corner the way only the best old homes do: mature trees arching overhead, a deep open porch facing the side yard, and a presence no new construction can borrow. Inside, 3,102 square feet unfold with the generosity of a floor plan drawn before square footage was rationed. Hardwood throughout. Built ins that frame the rooms rather than fill them. A formal dining room for the occasions that deserve one. A breakfast room for the mornings that do not. A separate sitting room and den, so quiet and company never have to share a corner. The kitchen is genuinely spacious and fully equipped. A first floor primary bedroom with full bath lets the main level stand on its own, with three more bedrooms above, 2 and a half baths in total, and first floor laundry in the mud room where it belongs. Then there is the second floor apartment at the rear, one bedroom with its own private entrance and staircase. Currently leased through March 2027. Outside, an oversized garage with a full second floor above for storage or a workshop, driveway parking for six, and a fenced area for pets. Slate and asphalt roofing, wood siding, and a porch that will spoil you for summer evenings. Crandall Park, the YMCA and downtown Glens Falls are all minutes away. Glens Falls School District. Historic character never goes out of style, because it was never in style to begin with. It simply endures. Come see what a century of good bones looks like.
