280 State Street # FL 3RD, Albany, NY 12210

Here is your opportunity to rent a beautiful apartment in a completely restored Center Square townhouse. Over $650k was invested in this rehab, which was completed the summer of 2011. No shortcuts were taken. For example, fiberglass insulation was done in all interior walls - such as the walls between the bedroom, living room and bathrooms. This was done so that tenants can enjoy quietness within the apartment, as well as privacy from other tenants. The building was demoed right down to the brick, and rebuilt to historical accuracy while adding modern touches such as Time Warner and phone lines in each room. You will not see holes drilled through window sills and wires stapled to baseboard trim. Front windows were rebuilt at a substantial expense... much more expensive than buying a new window, but a huge importance was placed on historical accuracy. You do not have to worry about drafts on a windy day, and in addition there are storm windows with an extra pane of glass and screens. The apartment is truly one of a kind and perhaps one of the nicest apartments in all of Center Square. It is a duplex apartment with two floors of living space, The upper floor consists of a large bedroom, sitting area, office nook, huge walk in closet, and an ample sized bathroom, as well as a nice large east facing window (in addition to the smaller dormer windows on the front and rear of the upper floor. The lower floor features a large living room, open kitchen, and a second bathroom (half bath)! The building is located on the most prestigious block of Center Square, located only steps from the Alfred E. Smith Building, the State Capitol and the Legislative Office Building (LOB). Pictures do not do this apartment justice, it is really something that must be seen to be appreciated. Some highlights: - Custom kitchen with beautiful granite countertops. - Elaborate, historically appropriate crown moldings throughout apartment (must be seen to appreciate the detail involved) - Full sized appliances, including a dishwasher - New red oak hardwood floors.
