Small-town living meets big-time value at this completely reimagined 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in the heart of Albany. If you've been searching for a fresh start without the hefty price tag, this one deserves a spot at the top of your list. Nearly everything here is new. The kitchen has been fully redone with modern finishes, a second bedroom was added, and the master bath was designed and installed. Behind the scenes, the furnace and water heater are both approximately five years young, offering worry-free comfort for seasons to come. Even the garage was insulated, giving you the flexible option to convert it into an extra room, home office, or hobby space-your call. But the real story here is location. This home sits just six blocks from the boat dock, making weekend adventures on the water effortless. Albany Main Street Park is a short stroll away for picnics and playtime, while Bitler Marine keeps boating enthusiasts well-equipped nearby. You'll enjoy the peaceful rhythm of small-town life while staying wonderfully connected: major grocery and big-box stores are only ten minutes out, and the Quad Cities await just thirty minutes down the road. Turnkey, thoughtfully updated, and priced to impress, this charming property blends move-in-ready convenience with unbeatable riverside appeal. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizer, or weekend explorer, opportunity is knocking. Come experience everything this refreshed Albany gem has to offer-your next chapter starts here.
