About this property

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.

Questions to ask before you buy

Good questions for any home near the slopes.

  1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
  2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
  3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
  4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
  5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
  6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
