Property Description

A beautifully revived 1890 Victorian in the heart of Albany's beloved Pine Hills neighborhood, this home sits just steps from cafés, green spaces, and the vibrant local scene along Madison Ave. It's perfectly placed for anyone who values community, convenience, and historic charm. Arched, glass-paned doors open to a wide foyer where original details shine - 9.5-foot ceilings, intricate woodwork, picture rails, and hardwood floors carried throughout. The gracious staircase and tucked-away powder room anchor the entry, leading to two generous living rooms with bay windows and pocket doors, one features a dramatic green-tiled fireplace. The dining room, complete with a gas fireplace and corner built-in, connects to a true butler's pantry and into the updated eat-in kitchen. Stone countertops, stainless appliances, a walk-in dry pantry, and access to the back staircase create a warm and functional hub. An enclosed porch offers a quiet spot for morning sunlight. Upstairs, the second-floor landing leads to a king-sized primary bedroom with its own fireplace, bay window, walkthrough dressing room, and updated ensuite bath. A connecting closet links the primary to a jr suite - ideal for a nursery, office, or dream dressing space. A classic Victorian bath with claw-foot tub, a linen cupboard, a third bedroom, and access to an airy back balcony complete this level. The third floor offers flexibility with three additional rooms - perfect for guests, studios, or work-from-home needs - plus an updated full bath and a large unfinished storage area. Outside, a wraparound porch sits beneath mature trees, creating a welcoming space to sip coffee and chat with neighbors. Just mins to downtown Albany, the train station, airport, and steps from local colleges, this home's location is unmatched. With its historic detail, generous layout, multi-use zoning, and neighborhood charm, this is a rare opportunity to live, work, and thrive in a picturesque pocket of Pine Hills
