Sharon’s Take
Built in 1890, this brick duplex in Rensselaer sits steps from the train station and offers two self-contained units of roughly equal size. Recent renovations include updated kitchens and bathrooms, new flooring, windows, doors, and fresh paint throughout. The lower level includes walk-out access with potential for additional development, and the property accommodates off-street parking for two vehicles. Located in the Rensselaer Central school district, the home provides flexibility whether as a primary residence with rental income or as an investment property with separate utilities for each unit.
