7 Van Buren St, Albany, NY 12206

Charming side hall colonial on a wonderful, well-kept street with friendly neighbors. Super convenient location close to everything, including shopping (Westgate Plaza, Honest Weight Food Coop, Stuyvesant Plaza), SUNY, and the best-hidden park in Albany, which is four blocks away. Low through traffic even though it's between Washington and Lincoln - more dogs pass by the house every day than cars. Lovely living room with gas fireplace, full-size dining room, 2-year-old appliances in kitchen and hardwood floors throughout. New porch overlooking fenced-in backyard that is big enough for dogs, kids, and a swingset, but small enough to manage with a reel mower. Raised beds for your veggies on the side of the house. Bathroom with original tiles and tub. Half bath on the first floor (quirky). Lovely office/playroom attached to the living room. Since April, this home has been completely repainted, new front and back porches installed, new backsplash in kitchen, retextured walls in the upstairs hallway and bathroom, protruding shelving removed from office, and new doors puy on attic and side of the garage. You don't have to do anything except move right in - I've done it all for you. Solar panels to boot (buyer must take over Tesla lease for $64/mo). NO agents listed above my name below have been contracted to represent this property for me. Please call me directly or have your own realtor call. Many agents are looking to cash in on this without my permission. Thank you. REALTORS: Please do not call asking if you can list the house for me. I'm happy to see you as a buyer's agent but I am representing my house myself. Thank you! BUYERS: DON'T BE intimidated by For Sale By Owner - if you want to make an offer on the house, you fill in a form and submit it to me with your pre-approval letter. If I accept it you have 24 hours to get in a deposit to hold the home. The only difference is that you get a lawyer in the beginning of the process instead of after it starts. If you have been working with a realtor to whom you feel loyal I am willing to work with him or her as a buying agent if s/he is willing to negotiate a reduced fee. I will consider all reasonable offers.
