49 Elm St FLOOR 1, Albany, NY 12202

Beautiful one bedroom apartment for rent in a historic house (1870s) on a lovely, well-maintained block of Elm Street in the Mansion neighborhood. About the apartment: The apartment has very high ceilings throughout, with crown moldings, medallions, and ceiling fans in nearly every room. Freshly painted with brand new flooring in the bedroom, dining room, and living room. The apartment has a shower only, no bathtub. The kitchen has a dishwasher, garbage disposal, refrigerator, gas stove, and over-the-range microwave oven. The living room has a beautiful original 1870s fireplace (non-operational) and mantle, and large windows. The bedroom is small and bright, large enough to fit a full-size bed (but not a queen), with a large window and a ceiling fan. There is a pantry/storage room off the kitchen with a large closet, and more storage in an unheated rear room with huge sliding window and lots of sunlight. There is a small rear yard/patio, and a clean, coin-op front-load washer & dryer available in the basement. The apartment comes with window air conditioners for summertime, and comfortable hot water radiators for heat. All windows in the apartment are newer vinyl, work properly, and are cozy and draft-free. Very responsible and responsive landlords live across the street. The other residents in the building (3 apartments total) have been here for over 15 years, which gives you a sense of what it's like to live here. About the neighborhood: Blocks from the Empire State Plaza, the Capitol, the State Museum, and downtown, and a few minutes from 787. An easy walk to Lark Street/Center Square. One block from the Governor's Mansion, and the bus line to SUNY Albany/University at Albany. Great walking, jogging, and running around nearby Lincoln Park and the Empire State Plaza. The Mansion neighborhood is similar to Center Square (pretty, historic houses, downtown living), but more residential (less noise from bars, etc.), and rents are lower. Come take a look -- you may be pleasantly surprised! It's easy for renters to get a parking permit ($20/year) for unlimited parking in the neighborhood. There are also often parking lot spaces and garage spaces available for rent by individual neighbors. There is free parking a block away nights and weekends in the state garage 1.5 blocks away.
