A distinguished, six-generation legacy home in Troy, New York, meticulously updated and pristine in condition, positioned on the principal thoroughfare of historic Lansingburgh, a storied village formally incorporated and demarcated on an 1872 village map by cartographer John Evan. Once comprising the third division of the former village of Lansingburgh, this iconic property occupies a commercial-zoned corridor, where the boundary between residence and enterprise dissolves into extraordinary possibility.
The home has previously served as a film-industry stopover and private restaurant venue, lending it a narrative gravitas rare in modern listings. Its architecture speaks in volumes: soaring 13-foot ceilings, three formal living rooms, three dining rooms, and three bedrooms, complemented by two galley kitchens and a seasonal porch overlooking the rear deck, a sanctuary enclosed by a 10-foot custom privacy fence and a 10-foot artisan-built perimeter fence crafted for discretion and ambiance alike.
Four original iron-forged fireplaces (non-working) anchor the rooms like silent guardians, while expansive original hardwood plank floors unfold uninterrupted across both levels, creating a wide-open, luminous layout ideal for premium rental living, creative studio use, or intimate bistro-style reimagining.
A welcoming entrance foyer provides seamless vertical circulation to:

Artist loft-style attic (with original plank floors)
Open attic level featuring original plank floors, new air venting system, and historical charm
