Timeless Elegance: Late Victorian Townhome Combines Tradition with Today Near Albany's Cherished Washington Park. This handsome 2,893 sq. ft. Late Victorian townhome blends ornate details with modern amenities in the heart of historic downtown Albany. Designed and built by a prominent architect for his own family in 1885, it impresses from the covered front porch with original door through the stunning grand foyer and throughout its three levels of living space each highlighted with period craftsmanship. Period details include: dramatic foyer with statement staircase, mahogany wainscot walls, coffered ceiling, and trim, decorative leaded window, transom windows above all bedrooms doors, three striking fireplaces, hardwood floors, and more. Beyond the character, it also offers Andersen replacement windows throughout, an updated boiler, an elegant tiled modern ensuite bathroom, refinished hardwood flooring and hand-restored intricate millwork. Maintained by one family since 1980, it stands proudly on a corner lot with a spacious backyard just steps from the popular Washington Park, Albany Med, SUNY downtown campus, Albany College of Pharmacy, Albany Law School as well as cultural, retail, entertainment and dining highlights.
