Located in the historic Washington Park district of Albany, NY. This home was built in 1881. It had a unique past including Lockrow's Bookstore. The project utilized New York State homeowner's Rehabilitation Tax Credits and was able to receive 20% back on the final cost.

Just 13 feet wide, this house provided unique opportunities for dual functions. For example, the space under the stairs is also a pantry and a closet; the half wall that separates the entry stairs from the main living area is a bookshelf and planter box, The renovation included adding a kitchen to the main floor (the existing kitchen was in the basement), sanding the floors, reorganizing the entry, and creating a built-in couch/daybed in the front window. The house has 9'-6" ceilings so we were able to incorporate a vertical kitchen for extra storage. The house was recently featured in the Albany Times-Union: http://www.timesunion.com/living/article/Fit-to-call-home-5354991.php#photo-6081781
