Rare Stockade Opportunity: Historic Front Street Duplex with Income Potential

Nestled in Schenectady’s beloved Stockade Historic District, this rare brick duplex offers the opportunity to own a piece of one of America’s oldest residential neighborhoods. Located on picturesque Front Street at Lawrence Circle and directly across from Arthur’s Market & Café, the property combines historic character with modern convenience in a setting rich with architectural heritage.

Each side of the duplex features two bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths, private laundry, and separate utilities. A rarity within the Stockade, the property also includes off-street parking and is situated outside the flood zone.

Designated as New York State’s first historic district, the Stockade is celebrated for its beautifully preserved 18th and 19th-century architecture, walkable streets, vibrant community events, and riverfront setting. The neighborhood’s timeless charm has attracted filmmakers and served as a backdrop for productions including HBO’s The Gilded Age.

Just steps from Riverside Park and the Mohawk River, residents enjoy easy access to waterfront walking paths, neighborhood cafés, restaurants, breweries, shops, and downtown Schenectady’s thriving arts and entertainment scene, including Proctors Theatre.

The vacant 45 Front Street residence offers flexibility as an owner-occupied home, guest quarters, or income-producing rental. The adjoining 47 Front Street is currently operating as a successful short-term rental and will be conveyed fully furnished, creating an exceptional turnkey opportunity for those seeking supplemental income while enjoying life in one of the Capital Region’s most distinctive historic neighborhoods.

Whether you’re drawn by the architecture, the history, the walkable lifestyle, or the potential for income, 45-47 Front Street presents a rare chance to become part of the enduring story of the Stockade.
