About This Home

As of March 2023

This delightful, light-filled circa 1910 home is located on a quiet tree-lined street in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Albany. With its large welcoming porch, gracious foyer, built-in cabinets, wainscoting and handsome fireplace, it retains the charm of the turn of the century, while the updated kitchen with quartz counters, maple cabinets, subway tiles and modern stainless steel appliances shows it’s readily adapted to 21st century life. There are 2 bedrooms with 2 baths on the main level, and upstairs, a loft bedroom with stunning views out to the Bay and Mount Tamalpais. Both the kitchen and main bedroom open to a large sunny backyard deck and garden planted to attract pollinators, a perfect spot for enjoying the outdoors. Well-located near the Gilman and Hopkins/Monterey Northbrae shopping districts, as well as vibrant Solano Avenue, the North Berkeley Library, local schools, and Jewel’s Terrace Park.
