City living with suburban space and serenity! Tucked into a picturesque neighborhood of tree-lined streets and sidewalks, this charming 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers privacy and room to breathe, just minutes from everything Schenectady has to offer. Inside, approximately 2,500 square feet of sun-filled living space features hardwood floors, vintage charm and thoughtful updates. A spacious formal living room with a stunning 12-foot bay window flows into the dining room, perfect for gatherings. Cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace in the additional family room, or enjoy the flexibility of a first-floor bedroom with built-in shelving, ideal for a home office, library or guest space. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a private full bath, plus 3 additional bedrooms and shared full bathroom. Approximately 650 square feet of finished basement space provides even more room to live, work or play. Outside, the generous corner lot feels like a private oasis! The fenced backyard offers room for four-legged friends to roam, while the above-ground pool, patio and gazebo set the scene for summer entertaining. Newly installed, OWNED solar panels add value and potential energy savings without lease payments or tricky fine-print.

Explore the city, then come home to your peaceful retreat. All the charm of an established neighborhood, the excitement of city living and space to truly make yourself at home!
