Property is new construction or fully renovated.
While originally built in 1926, the property has undergone a comprehensive recent renovation (likely within the last 5 years) as evidenced by the updated kitchen, fresh interior paint, new light fixtures, and recessed lighting. The exterior and systems appear well-maintained with a newly installed driveway and epoxy garage flooring, placing it in mint, move-in-ready condition.
Situated in the highly acclaimed Albany school district with exceptional walkability to local shops, restaurants, and parks, providing significant long-term value and lifestyle appeal.
The residence features extensive recent improvements, including an updated kitchen, fresh interior paint, new light fixtures, and a newly installed driveway, ensuring a move-in-ready experience.
The inclusion of a bonus room not counted in the official square footage offers valuable flexibility for a home office, guest space, or hobby room, maximizing the home's functional utility.
At 1,081 square feet, the interior living space is relatively modest, which may be a constraint for buyers seeking more expansive room proportions or a larger family home.
The 3,000 square foot lot is on the smaller side for the area, potentially limiting future expansion possibilities or large-scale outdoor entertaining needs.
Welcome to this charming Albany home, offering 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a versatile bonus room, not included in the square footage. Blending timeless character with modern comfort, this beautifully updated residence is filled with abundant natural light and features a thoughtfully designed open floor plan perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious primary suite provides a peaceful retreat, while the expansive living and dining rooms create an inviting atmosphere. The updated kitchen features stylish finishes. Fresh interior paint and new light fixtures throughout give the home a bright feel. A dedicated laundry room adds convenience, and the attached one-car garage features durable epoxy flooring. Step outside to enjoy the newly installed driveway and a spacious garden backyard with plenty of room to relax, entertain, or cultivate your own outdoor oasis. Ideally situated in one of Albany's most desirable neighborhoods, this home offers exceptional walkability to local shops, restaurants, parks, and everyday amenities. Located within the highly acclaimed Albany school district and just minutes from Berkeley, Alameda, and San Francisco, with convenient access to major commuter routes, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of East Bay living.
