Spacious Glenville Ranch • Chef's Kitchen • Near Everything • Deck • Fire Pit

Schenectady, New York, United States

Experience the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. Our spacious one-story home puts you minutes from everything, yet tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood.brbrUnwind in comfort with a brand-new kitchen and 1½ sparkling clean bathrooms, central heat and A/C, and a 65 Smart TV with immersive sound in the living room. Rest easy in 3 inviting bedrooms (1 King, 2 Queen beds), each with blackout curtains, ceiling fans, and thoughtful touches like nightstands, hangers, and luggage racks. brbrEnjoy plenty of driveway parking, Smart TVs in two bedrooms, full-sized washer and dryer, and several work-from-home spaces. brbrRelax on the expansive new deck, gather around the fire pit, or on the comfortable living room couch. And rest assured with a whole-home backup generator (the power in the area goes out during both the winter and summer due to storms, car accidents, and old infrastructure).brbrWe have meticulously remodeled and appointed this one-story home to be your home-away-from-home while in the Glenville area. brbrWe have tried to think of everything possible to make your stay comfortable and effortless. brbr****TAP or CLICK (maybe twice) ON A PHOTO TO ENLARGE IT AND SEE ADDITIONAL LISTING DETAILS WE HAVE PROVIDED.**** brbrThe living room is a spacious 21 feet wide with a large, comfortable sectional couch with a chaise lounge near the gas fireplace. The new forced-air heater and fireplace will keep you comfy, but you can also snuggle up with one of the several blankets from the blanket ladder while you are watching the 65 Smart TV with SONY sound bar. brbrDim the recessed ceiling lights for added ambiance. The new central air conditioning system will keep you cool and comfortable in the summer or you can turn on the ceiling fan, if you prefer. brbrThe whole home generator will keep everything running if the power goes out from winter or summer storms or other incidents.brbrHead into the kitchen that is fully stocked with pots, pans, bowls, cutting boards, baking sheets, cupcake tins, utensils, and other necessities. br- The kitchen has multiples of silverware, glasses, plates, bowls, serving bowls & platters, etc. br- We provide a wide selection of spices, oils, salt and pepper for you to use. br- We also will start you off with several coffees (regular, decaf, and flavored), teas, Hot chocolate, honey sticks, and sugar packetsbr- Our coffee bar has a drip coffee maker, a french press, a moka pot, and a milita cone (pour over). br- Additionally, there is a traditional kettle for the stove and an electric kettle.br- There are many kitchen utensils you would want or need to cook any meal.br- The kitchen has several other small appliances including a microwave, slow cooker, mini food processors, a waffle maker, pop up toaster, toaster oven (large enough to hold an 8x8 casserole dish), blender, mixer, rice cooker, etc.br- aluminum foil, plastic wrap, baggies, parchment paper, etc brbrAll three bedrooms have been finished with nightstands on both sides; plus luggage racks, laundry baskets, and hangers in each closet. Beds have freshly laundered linens, a blanket, and comforter/quilt. There are extra blankets in each bedroom closet and additional blankets/quilts are staged around the house, should you desire them. brbrEach bedroom has blackout curtains and a ceiling fan with light to further customize your comfort. Additionally, each bedroom has a full length mirror and a close up mirror so you don't need to crowd the bathrooms.brbrThe full bathroom is stocked with bath towels, hair/hand towels, and wash clothes. Additionally, we provide paper towels, cotton balls, cotton swabs, tooth floss sticks, bar soap, air freshener spray, and a hair dryer. The shower has shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and bar soap.brbrThe front closet has books, games, and puzzles for you to enjoy. There is also a standard vacuum, a battery powered stick vacuum, a broom, dry mop, dust pan, etc in case you have a spill that you need to tend to.brbrThere are three desk areas for work, puzzle making, makeup application, etc. (Living room, Bedroom #2, Bedroom #3)brbrWe have left extra: br- Paper towelsbr- Toilet paperbr- Garbage bagsbr- Towelsbr- Blanketsbr- Pillowsbr- etc.brbrWe provide a house manual with lots of information including:br- where things are in the housebr- commonly asked questions like When is Garbage Day br- the closest place for coffee, non-chain coffee shops nearby, big coffee nearbybr- where things are in townbr- recommendations on stores and restaurantsbr- etc.brbrDuring the spring/summer/fall, we might have to perform landscaping activity during your stay. We will do our best to arrange a convenient time. Lawn clean up takes between 1 and 4 hours. (The town is particular so we cannot necessarily wait until the house is empty). brbrIn the winter months, we do not provide snow removal service, but there will be shovels in the breezeway and can provide phone numbers to plow services, if needed. We also provide salt for the stairs and walkways.brbrThe house is near a small municipal airport that also is the home to Stratton Air National Guard base so there are often small planes flying overhead and large military planes over the main part of town.brbrThere are many trains that run through Glenville so low horns can be heard in the background.brbrOur fire department has a horn that alerts the volunteers to an event. Don't worry if you hear it! All is well.brbrHave any questions Want to know if a specific amenity is in the house We have provided a house manual for self-service, but we hope that you will message us if you have any questions!brbr9/2025 We replaced and expanded the Deck:brIn nice weather, there is a table and chairs on the back deck. Down one set of steps is a gas grill. Down the other set of stairs is the fire pit and 6 Adirondack style chairs (each with a cup holder and a phone holder). The yard is large and level. brbr8/2025 We replaced and expanded the driveway and walkway to the door:brThe driveway now will hold up to 6 vehicles and the walkway to the entrance door is now wider and smooth.brbr6/2024 We added a whole house generator:brGlenville notoriously has an unstable electrical grid during summer and winter storms. You can book this house with confidence knowing that if power in the neighborhood goes out, within about 45 seconds, the power to the entire home will resume allowing the heater, air conditioning, lights, TV, refrigerator, etc, to continue to run.brbrDRIVING DISTANCE FROM OUR RENTAL TO:brGlen Sanders Mansion - 2.3 miles • 6 minutesbrFrog Alley - 3.1 • 7brGE / General Electric / GE Vernova - 4.2 • 9brProctor’s Theatre - 3.4 • 9brUnion College - 3.1 • 8brRiver’s Casino - 2.9 • 8brEllis Hospital - 3.9 • 11brSchenectady Curling Club - 5.5 • 14brSaratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) - 17.5 • 32brSaratoga Racetrack - 22.7 • 34brSkidmore College - 24.9 • 37brThe Great Escape Amusement Park - 43.6 • 52brLake George, NY 47.3 55brbrbrDISTANCE TO SHOPPINGbrWalmart - 1.6 • 4brTarget - 2.1 • 6brHannaford’s Grocery - 2.3 • 6brTrader Joe’s, Clifton Park - 11.1 • 23brWhole Foods, Colonie - 16.9 • 23brbrbrPlease note:brbr***There is absolutely NO SMOKING allowed on, in, or around the property.
