House of the Day: 213 Congress Street
Finally some fresh blood! It’s been slim pickings in the new listings department this year so far but this immaculate single-family brick at 213 Congress changes that.

Finally some fresh blood! It’s been slim pickings in the new listings department this year so far but this immaculate single-family brick at 213 Congress changes that. The 25-foot-wide house has had the same owner for four decades but appears to have recently undergone a pretty serious (and traditional) renovation, from the massive kitchen to the landscaped backyard. Whether the buyers out there are ready to pay up for it remains to be seen: The asking price is $4,400,000, or more than $1,000 a foot. Possible?

She only died about 4 years ago, sam. Have a look at that listing on Washington Park. $759k for a gigantic , beautiful brownstone. I don’t know what the taxes are.
Amazing! she ran the Democratic Machine with O’Connell and canoodled wih the long-time mayor on the side (who was another bigtime machine guy). I wish I had met her but I think she was dead by the time I first set foot in the frozen steppes of Albany.
…and, you’re wrong about this house, it will fetch at least 4 million.
OK…to tie all this together here’s an incredible brownstone overlooking Washington Park in Albany….

what I most remember about ALbany is the cold and snow.
So…..”bundle up your overcoat”.
And see what the locals have to say about your very interesting relative. I’m sure Gillanbrand’s appointment is stirring up a lot of old stories.
No, no, no, sam. Polly and Dan ran the politics. Polly was fooling around with Erastus, not Dan.
Yes, that rumor about who is actually the father has been around for a long time. Who knows??
good view, bad view it doesn’t matter. There is no precedent for a house of this size in this neighborhood selling for this kind of price. Its a nice house and the neighborhood is great (and yes those buildings do NOT look like projects) but 2.5 would be a fine price for that and more in line with comps.
I used to spend a lot of time in Albany, and let me tell you, people thought she was Corning’s mistress and that her daughter, that would be the current senator’s mother, was really Corning’s. Now you are saying it was really O’Connell? I have to confer with my sources upstate.
But in any case,the new Senator comes from a colorful political family.
