About This Home
TWO LOTS INCLUDED! Privacy, affordability, and move-in ready - this is the hidden gem that you've been waiting for. Tucked away on a dead-end street with the Albany Pine Bush Preserve as your backyard, enjoy a peaceful, private setting with hardly any neighbors in sight. The entire interior has been refreshed, from fresh paint and new flooring to an updated kitchen and bath. The space feels bright, open, & airy with tons of natural light - a clean slate you can truly make your own. Step outside and it gets even better with an above-ground pool (just 4 years young), plus a hammock and fire pit already setup for those easy Summer nights that we're all so ready for. Wildlife, trails, and a small creek are literally right in your backyard! Plus, a full unfinished basement just waiting to be finished if you want to expand your space. Sale includes two parcels! Nothing to do here except pack your bags and move right in. Don't miss this one - it's not going to last. OPEN HOUSE Saturday 5/2 from 12-2pm!
