1935 Heritage Road, Niskayuna, NY 12309

The carving on the front door shows up again on mantel inside. That's the kind of care you'll find all through this Niskayuna home. Marble columns frame the living room, and the bay window has a built-in seat made for slow mornings. The kitchen gathers everyone around an island breakfast bar, with a walk-in pantry and a warm brick accent wall. Next door, the family room sits under exposed beams, and the three-season room lets you enjoy spring and fall a little longer. Upstairs, the bedrooms are genuinely huge, and there's storage everywhere you'd hope for it. The legal additional living space is a second home under the same roof. It spans part of the first floor and the finished walkout level below, with its own egress and a stairlift between levels. Four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, more than 3,300 square feet above grade, plus a 560-square-foot finished walkout level. All of it sits in a quiet corner of Niskayuna that's still close to everything. Photos can't do that mantel...
