Sharon’s Take
This 1851 home in Rensselaer sits steps from the train station, offering direct access to regional transit. The two-bedroom, one-bath residence spans 1,246 square feet and features an updated kitchen with island, engineered wood floors in the dining and living areas, and a heated nook suitable for an office. Downtown Albany lies five minutes away by car; I-87, I-90, and I-787 are approximately seven minutes out. Saratoga Race Track is thirty-five minutes distant, with Lake George and the Adirondacks under an hour away. The property includes a fenced yard, off-street parking, twelve-year-old roof, and no homeowners association, and is located in the Rensselaer Central school district.
