Step into History with Modern Possibilities! Welcome to one of the oldest homes in the City of Rensselaer, a triplex full of character and opportunity. Each unit offers a generously sized 1-bedroom layout with separate utilities. The walk-up attic, already roughed in with electrical & plumbing for a 4th unit, offers exciting expansion potential. Enjoy off-street parking, coin-operated laundry in the basement, and breathtaking views of downtown Albany from your porch. Lovingly cared for by the same owner since the 70's, this home combines historic charm with modern convenience. Just minutes from the highway, shopping, and dining, this location makes commuting and daily living easy. A fantastic chance to live in one unit while renting the others!
