About this home
Beneath Albany's iconic canopy of trees, 908 Second Avenue stands as a classic Brick Cottage offering 1,428 square feet of preserved character and timeless architectural appeal. Its traditional brick exterior, cottage proportions, and rooflines reflect the craftsmanship of an earlier era, while a newer roof (less than two years old) and updated HVAC system provide modern peace of mind. Inside, original hardwood floors, arched doorways, detailed trim work, and large windows fill the home with abundant natural light. The living room is anchored by a charming fireplace with decorative hearth and mantle and opens through French doors into the formal dining room accented by a chandelier, creating an inviting flow for entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen features generous cabinetry, tiled countertops, a gas range with a double oven, and a bar overlooking the backyard ideal for seating or a coffee station. There is also space for a breakfast table, while a rear entrance leads to the raised deck, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living. A second living space offers excellent flexibility and may be used as a family room, office, playroom, or media room. Bedrooms are spacious and well-proportioned with hardwood floors, ceiling fans, and ample closet storage, including mirrored sliding doors that enhance light and functionality. The home includes two bathrooms, one with classic black-and-white tile and pedestal sink, and a primary bath featuring a beautifully updated tiled walk-in shower with built-in bench seating. The home has been well cared for while also offering opportunity for cosmetic updates, allowing a new owner to personalize the space while preserving its original charm. A large laundry room doubles as a functional mudroom from the backyard entry, and a security system conveys with the property. Outside, the front porch provides space for bistro seating, while the deep fenced backyard offers privacy and versatility. A long driveway extends to a detached workshop or studio that is wired and insulated, ready for completion and ideal for hobbies, creative studio use, private office space, guest quarters, or even a rental for additional income! With solid brick construction, updated systems, central proximity to downtown Albany and Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, and strong flexibility for both personal use and investment. Property is currently under contract with a kick-out. Seller is a relative to one of the listing agents.
