Wait...there's HOW much house here?! This freshly painted Albany ranch packs a whole lot of living into a smart footprint. Hardwood floors run throughout the main level, where two bedrooms and a spacious living room make for comfortable, easy living. Then there's the fully finished basement -- and this is where things get interesting. You'll find a third bedroom, (with a side room attached), a kitchenette, a full bath, family room, and laundry, plus a completed private egress for easy access to and from the outside and interior access from the main level. That's a functional second living level, not an afterthought. Outside, a new vinyl fence defines the property and frames the expansive backyard on nearly half an acre -- plenty of room to stretch out, entertain, or just enjoy the quiet. You're minutes from downtown Albany for work, dining, and everything the city offers, with The Crossings of Colonie right nearby for trails, green space, and fresh air. Easy access to major routes like I-90 and Route 9 and puts the whole Capital Region (and beyond) within reach. Fresh, functional, and offering more living space than the first floor lets on -- come see what's hiding downstairs.
