Property Description
Looking for a chance to gain instant equity? 527 Charles St in Scotia is a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a home with character, space, and strong upside. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers 1,296 sq ft of living space plus a finished attic that can easily serve as a third bedroom, office, or flexible bonus retreat. Set on a desirable corner lot, the property includes a detached garage and rare off-street parking for up to six vehicles—ideal for guests, work trucks, or recreational equipment. A generous side yard provides plenty of room for gardening, play, or entertaining while still maintaining privacy, giving you outdoor flexibility rarely found in a village setting.
Inside, hardwood floors grace the living room, while the kitchen and bathroom feature durable tile for easy upkeep. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, combining modern convenience with timeless appeal. Bedrooms are carpeted, with the possibility of hardwood floors underneath, offering potential to restore even more character and value. Original woodwork highlights the home's charm, and the layout provides flexibility for today's lifestyle. All major mechanicals are on and functioning, including a newer furnace. Please note that the power is currently off and will be turned on within the week. Once reactivated, the home could be move-in ready, and with a thorough cleaning and cosmetic updates, buyers will have the chance to personalize and gain instant equity. The finished attic expands usable space, providing versatility beyond the two traditional bedrooms.
Located in the sought-after Scotia-Glenville School District, this home is close to Collins Park, Jumpin' Jack's, restaurants, shopping, and major commuter routes into Schenectady, Albany, and the greater Capital Region. Whether you're a first-time buyer tired of renting or an investor looking for a property with strong fundamentals, 527 Charles St offers comfort, functionality, and room to grow.
