26 Mapleridge Ave, Albany, NY 12209

Are you hoping to live on a quiet street, situated in the vibrant Delaware Area neighborhood? A place where neighbors know, and look out for each other? Looking for the charm of an older home without the typical laundry list of improvement projects? A home that someone else has thoughtfully updated? Are features like an enclosed front porch, back deck, detached garage and fenced yard important to you? If so, then 26 Mapleridge Ave is your next home! This lovely Albany classic is just so warm and inviting. Walk into the enclosed porch and appreciate this space both as a great place to hang out and a place to stow coats and shoes before entering the home via an attractive set of French doors. The entryway is spacious, with room for a table or bench and a coat closet nearby. Your eyes will be drawn to the original dark wood trim that has been lovingly maintained. Wood floors are throughout the home and definitely add to the home's appeal. The living room is large and leads seamlessly into the dining room. Both rooms have multiple windows (note they are replacement windows) and the combined space is open and comfortable. There are paddle fans throughout the home, which keep air circulating during the warmer months. Recent updates to the kitchen (including new cabinets, countertop, sink and fixtures) make it a lovely place to prepare meals and its central location ensures that the chef is at the heart of things. The appliances are all newer, with none more than three years old. Off the kitchen is an updated half bath complete with first floor laundry (with storage cabinets). The back entryway is the perfect place to leave dog leashes and sporting equipment. Heading up the stairs, notice the window on the landing makes the second floor hallway so light and airy. There are four bedrooms and a completely updated bathroom (marble tile floor, new vanity, toilet and fixtures) on this efficiently laid out level. The deep backyard is completely fenced and features a new deck, which is the perfect place for summer barbeques. Just down the street is Whitehall Park, featuring a playground and basketball courts. What a great place to call home!
