About This Home

As of May 2026

Less than a block from Solano Avenue, this fully upgraded 3+BD/2BA Craftsman bungalow, plus separate green-certified studio ADU with its own half bath, is a wonderful backdrop to live and work. The 1939 SQFT Albany home opens to a sunny living room where you can relax in front of the fireplace with a picture window view of the Berkeley hills. Hardwood floors span through a curved arch into the formal dining room. Up a few steps, find two bedrooms with roomy closets, hillside views, and a chic full bath with shower. A vaulted ceiling and skylights illuminate the kitchen that enjoys custom cabinets, new appliances, and stone counters. The lower level offers another bedroom, full bath with tub, and large laundry area with flexible space and cabinetry, ready as an office or playroom. Out the backdoor, entertain, unwind, and play in the spacious backyard with flagstone patios and a level lawn, surrounded by mature rose bushes. The green-certified, stylish ADU studio with kitchenette and half bath offers space as a rental, in-law unit, or exterior office. Enjoy an easy commute with an EV charger and nearby buses and BART. Sought-after K-12 public schools are close by, and Albany’s parks and shoreline are a short drive away. Out your front door, explore Solano Avenue’s dining, shops, and amenities. The thoughtful finishes, dreamy location, and warmth in this house are ready to welcome you home.
