This 1910 Schenectady home offers four bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and 2,429 square feet across a classic layout with period character. The property includes a sunken flex room with wood ceiling, full basement, fireplace, and pellet stove, along with recent upgrades: new roof with transferable warranty, new sewer line to city, ductless air conditioning, and updated boiler. A detached two-car garage and fenced backyard add convenience and privacy. Located in downtown Schenectady near Union College, Proctors, and a revitalized neighborhood, this home blends historic appeal with modern systems.
