About This Home

As of October 2025

Visit this updated 2 plus bedroom Albany cottage, boasting wide-open spaces, amazing light, mature backyard garden, cook's kitchen with Berkeley Hills views. Purchased in 2001 the homeowners began an expansion project completing it in 2005 which includes a new foundation, enlarging the garage and adding lower-level flexible spaces. An entire family room was added with a stunning loft spacious enough for a bed and office. Bathroom systems were also updated with new fixtures and tile throughout. An eat-in kitchen with custom cabinets, and breakfast bar allow full line of sight into the living room and the family room. Great for when you want to keep an eye on your loved ones. The 2005 transformation also introduced new dual-paned windows, new electrical panel, skylights and wood floors throughout. Enjoy Albany's favorite offerings, including a rich international dining scene, eclectic shopping, transportation and popular schools.
