3-bed, 1.5-bath ranch in Albany offering 5 acres of pasture land and a strong foundation for improvement-an excellent opportunity for instant equity. This property features a solid structure with key updates already in place, including newer plumbing, wiring, a well pump (approx. 2 years old), owned water softener, some vinyl windows, and a new central air unit for the home that has not yet been used. The home is equipped with all-electric heat and includes a prepaid spring service for the AC system. The main level offers a living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, and 1.5 bathrooms, including a primary bedroom with a private half bath. The basement is accessible from the home and also features exterior cellar doors for added convenience. Outside, the property includes a 3-car garage with a 2-door overhead setup. The garage has been reinsulated, rewired, and includes heating and central air setup, with a new unit ready for connection. Two additional sheds are located on the property, one previously used as a chicken coop. With acreage, infrastructure updates, and versatile outbuildings already in place, this property presents a compelling value. Schedule a showing to explore the potential.
