49 Hillcrest Ave presents an excellent opportunity in Albany's highly sought-after Eagle Hill neighborhood, conveninently bordering Western Ave.. This one-owner, up/down duplex was constructed in 1983 and offers two distinct living spaces, each with private laundry, outdoor access, and off-street parking. The spacious lower unit spans two floors and over 2000 sq. ft.- with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. A modern townhouse-style layout features a wet bar on the lower level, spiral staircase, and separate hallway laundry. The upper unit offers 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, with vaulted ceilings and skylights creating a bright, open living space. A dedicated laundry closet adds everyday convenience. Both units have interior apartment access and direct access to a multi-tiered deck, providing private outdoor space. The property includes a total of four off-street parking spaces. Both units are currently occupied by month-to-month tenants, offering flexibility for future ownership. The location is a major draw--minutes from area hospitals, UAlbany, major Capital District roadways, and directly across Western Ave from the Harriman Campus. The neighborhood is positioned for continued growth with the billion-dollar Wadsworth Laboratory project underway at Harriman. Slated to open in 2030 and projected to employ approximately 800 people, the state-of-the-art facility adds another compelling layer to an already desirable rental location. A well-positioned duplex with flexibility today and strong potential for tomorrow, this property is an excellent value add for the savvy investor and owner/occupy buyer alike!
