About this home
Welcome to 51 Benson Street -- a completely updated and move-in ready 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath bungalow that perfectly blends modern living, timeless charm, and incredible income potential. Originally built in 1927, this beautifully refreshed home offers character throughout while delivering all the updates today's buyers are looking for.
The inviting enclosed front sitting porch creates the perfect space to enjoy your morning coffee or relax at the end of the day. Inside, gleaming hardwood floors flow through the bright and open main level. The spacious living room leads into a stunning modern kitchen featuring sleek cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a functional working island ideal for cooking, entertaining, or casual dining. A formal dining area adds even more room to gather and host.
The first floor also includes a private bedroom, a fully updated full bath, dedicated laundry room, and rear porch -- offering the convenience of comfortable one-level living. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms with brand-new carpeting, an updated half bath, and a versatile bonus area perfect for a home office, playroom, or lounge space. Fresh paint throughout gives the entire home a crisp, clean, truly move-in ready feel.
What truly makes this property stand out is the included adjacent lot, bringing the total to an impressive 8 garage spaces across two detached 4-car garages. Three garages are currently tenant-occupied and already producing rental income, while the remaining spaces offer endless flexibility for storage, personal use, hobbies, or additional leasing opportunities. Whether you're a car enthusiast, entrepreneur, or investor, this is a rare opportunity in Albany.
Additional features include a full unfinished basement, walk-up finished attic, updated electric with circuit breakers, public water and sewer, and low estimated taxes of approximately $4,697 annually.
