What are the home’s most valuable features for prospective buyers?

“This well-maintained home is in a great location that’s close to everything Malta has to offer. It’s only minutes to shopping and Interstate 87, but there are also amazing trails nearby and throughout the Malta area for biking, walking, and running.”

How would you describe the home’s style and/or floor plan?

“This 2 story Colonial is light-filled, spacious, and clean. The main floor is great for entertaining – it boasts a spacious family room (with cozy gas fireplace and built-ins), and a generously-sized eat in kitchen with desk area, hardwood floors and sliding doors our to a large deck overlooking the fenced-in back yard. The first floor laundry area (right in the mud room) is ultra-convenient, and the attached 2 car garage makes it easy to unload groceries or get safely in and out during winter months. The second floor has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a spacious hallway with windows.”

Any unusual amenities?

“Highpointe neighborhood (where this house is located) has its own walking trail and a neighborhood playground that is maintained by the HOA.”

What’s your favorite thing about the property?

“You can move right into this home: it’s priced to sell and it is in the award-winning Ballston Spa school district with great STEM numbers.”
