About This Home
Along the banks of Codornices Creek in prime Albany, this charming 2BD/1BA main home and studio casita (with another full bath) create a true oasis near the world-class amenities of the North Berkeley/Albany border. Set on a large lot, the 1444 SQFT home is surrounded by mature trees, enchanting gardens, level lawn, and a musical creek. From the neighborly porch, step into the front living and dining area where sunlight streams from dual-hung windows onto wood floors. The heart of the home is the spacious eat-in kitchen and family room, featuring a beamed ceiling with skylights, garden views, and a vintage Wedgewood stove. A glass door opens to the backyard for indoor/outdoor living. Featuring meandering paths through the garden and down to the creek, the backyard is a lush refuge with plenty of room to entertain, unwind, and play, featuring two sheds and a detached casita with full bath and an Airbnb rental history. Back inside, the home’s large full bath with dual vanity invites you to soak or shower immersed in garden views. Upstairs, find two bright bedrooms with closets. A long driveway provides off-street parking. Nearby, enjoy great dining, entertainment, shopping, respected private and public schools, BART, and Cal just up the road.
