About This Home

Better than brand new! This totally transformed 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath Westbrae 2-story (on the Albany-Berkeley border) has it all -- from the Tesla roof and power wall, to the newer foundation; from the unexpectedly large level backyard to the city-view rooftop deck; from the all-new kitchen and baths to new flooring, lighting, updated systems and tech-savvy style and finishes. Walkable to everything from the Gilman district and Monterey Market to Solano Ave. shops, as well as multiple top-rated public and private schools. Loved and lived-in by a single family since 1978, this home has enjoyed several fully permitted large-scale renovations over the past 40 years, from the raising of the original bungalow and addition of a new first floor, to the addition of an actual Tesla roof (not solar panels - the shingles themselves are solar-powered). Over the past year, a full interior remodel was undertaken to create a modern floorplan and flow and bring plumbing, electrical and structural systems to 2025 standards. It's a can't-miss opportunity for anyone seeking the best of the Berkeley/Albany lifestyle! BROKER TOUR Thursday 2/26, 9:30-noon. OPEN Sat-Sun. 2/28, 3/1, 2-4:30 pm.
