Welcome to 12 Clermont Street, a beautifully updated 1928 traditional that blends timeless character with modern comfort in the heart of Albany's Melrose neighborhood. This 3 bedroom home offers 1,539 square feet of thoughtfully finished living space where original charm meets tasteful updates at every turn. The main level flows from a welcoming foyer into a sunlit living room anchored by a gas fireplace, then into a formal dining room made for gathering. The remodeled kitchen is a true centerpiece with a center island, stone countertops, modern cabinetry, and updated appliances. A small area off the kitchen serves as a convenient work area with built in desk and drawers, and a half bath completes the space. Gleaming hardwood floors, crown molding, and abundant natural light carry throughout. Upstairs you will find three comfortable bedrooms and a stylish full bath. The finished basement adds a versatility, ideal as a gym, home office, or hobby space, while the walk-up attic offers excellent storage and future potential. Sip your morning coffee on the front porch or unwind on the rear porch overlooking the level, landscaped yard. Additional highlights include a detached 2 car garage with parking for up to six, natural gas radiant heat, 200 amp electrical service, and high speed internet. Ideally located just minutes from Albany's colleges, hospitals, State offices, shopping, and major highways.
