Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1906 and held by the same owner for over 40 years, the property is functional but dated. The kitchen features mismatched cabinetry and older appliances, and the bathroom is basic. While livable, the listing's emphasis on 'restoration' and 'potential' indicates that systems and finishes are likely over 20 years old and require modernization.
Middle School: Albany Middle School (9/10). High School: Albany High School (9/10).
Situated in a highly walkable 'A+' neighborhood, the property is just blocks from local amenities and top-rated schools like Jefferson Elementary, offering an ideal urban-suburban lifestyle.
The detached ADU provides a unique opportunity for rental income, a home office, or guest quarters, offering significant future upside and versatility for the next owner.
With only 702 square feet of living space in the main home, the property may feel constrained for buyers requiring more substantial indoor room or larger bedrooms.
The detached ADU is currently unpermitted, which may present challenges with financing, insurance, or the additional costs required to bring the unit up to modern building codes.
