122 Morton AvenueAlbany, NY 12202Price: $239,900

Welcome to 122 Morton Ave, an 1881 up-and-down two-family facing Lincoln Park in the City School District of Albany, with views of the Empire State Plaza and Corning Tower skyline. About 2,592 sq ft is split into two units, each with 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, a kitchen with a stove and refrigerator, and a combined living and dining room. Original character remains in both units, including hardwood floors, bay windows, and decorative (non-working) mosaic fireplaces in the living rooms, along with a columned archway and cast-iron radiators. Systems include natural gas hot water heat with a separate heating system and water heater for each unit, 200-amp circuit breaker service, separately metered gas and electric, public water and sewer, and a full unfinished basement on a block foundation. Tenants pay their own heat, hot water, gas and electric. Outside are a front porch, a rear deck, a fenced back yard, and a detached two-car garage on the separate 99 Catherine St parcel, which is included in the sale. The 1st-floor unit is tenant-occupied on a month-to-month basis and the 2nd-floor unit is vacant, giving a new owner the choice to move in or lease it. Steps from Lincoln Park and a short walk to the Empire State Plaza and downtown Albany, this classic city two-family is a compelling opportunity.
