About this House

Situated on an acre of land, you'll find this ranch style home waiting for it's new life! The home was built in 1940 and the amenities include;
hardwood floors, ceramic floors, updated kitchen, with center island and track lighting, formal dining room with sliding glass door to the the rear
yard, a wonderful stone fireplace, two large out buildings (which are vinyl sided and are perfect for storage, a studio or workshop). The main
bedroom, full bathroom and laundry combo are located on the first floor. Oil tank (was located partially underground), has a Certification of
removal, and the ground testing was clear when it was tested after removal in 2022 (no contamination). Presently, there is no new oil tank--the
home will need a tank installed by the buyer. All COs will be the buyers responsibility. Re: appliances in the home--the seller makes no representation to their condition or working order. An additional 1 acre lot (listed separately, 161 E Dorsey Lane) boarders this parcel and is available to purchase, the seller prefers to sell both at the same time. The home is in need of renovations, most likely will need to be a cash sale or Rehab loan.

    "Ok, however im not used to the city. Except theres not a lot of busses. Theyre are busses, just not a lot. So you need a car to get where a short 14min car ride takes over 1 hr to bus or over 2- more hrs to walk some places. Say if this was albany we could catch a bus every 15-20mins 7days a week, pretty much every block and get anywhere you want."

    " I’ve lived here for 10 years and it has been a very safe and enjoyable neighborhood to live in. The schools are very good both public and parochial. There is great access to shopping, groceries and restaurants. There are lots of parks, museums and rail trails in the area. The city also has the walkway over the Hudson which is a great attraction. Access to NYVc is easy and 1:30 minutes on the train with a ride along the Hudson River. Overall the area is safe. The four seasons give a great opportunity to enjoy the holidays. "
