About This Home

As of May 2025

This Albany gem has been lovingly updated by the sellers with the finest attention to detail. Upon entering the front door, there is an office space to your left and a light and spacious living room with a fireplace to your right. The open floor plan leads into the adjacent dining room and is perfect for entertaining. The remodeled kitchen with a skylight and a garden window is a chef's delight, and the breakfast room and door to the side porch offer sweet spaces for casual dining. The main floor also features five sunny bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. For more space to entertain, spread out, relax, and work on hobbies, the sellers enjoyed the finished bonus space in the basement*. With many usable areas, a kitchenette, a full bathroom, and a personal sauna, the space offers an abundance of flexibility*. The fully landscaped backyard features a mature fruit tree, drought-resistant plants, a lawn, and a patio. Parking is a breeze thanks to a garage and ample off-street parking. Close to dining and shopping on Solano Avenue, the El Cerrito Plaza and BART Station, public transportation, and local schools!** *Buyer to investigate. **Buyer to verify school district/availability.
