About This Home

As of September 2021

12 MONTHS OF HOA CREDITED TO BUYER. This magical 2 bed/ 2 bath townhouse feels utterly private perched among heritage oaks, surrounded by glorious hill views, yet is minutes from all Albany, El Cerrito and Berkeley have to offer.

Upstairs has a lofted office space large enough to be a combo family room/den. Downstairs is a haven where both bedrooms have woods and hills views and sliding doors to the secluded lower deck. Primary bedroom has two custom closets and ensuite bath with walk-in shower. 2nd bedroom has walk-in closet, shelving, office nook. Updated 2nd bath, laundry, storage. Wood floors. 2 deeded parking spots in front. Open Sat/Sun, 12-3.
