Built in 1994, the property is well-maintained and shows clear evidence of modern updates. The bathrooms feature contemporary vanities, updated tiling, and gold fixtures consistent with a recent renovation (5-15 years). The interior boasts clean hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and a functional multi-level layout that is move-in ready.
Middle School: Albany Middle School (9/10). High School: Albany High School (9/10).
The property is situated within the highly-coveted Albany school district, featuring top-rated middle and high schools (rated 9/10), which serves as a major driver for long-term property value.
The floor plan offers exceptional flexibility with a dedicated downstairs bonus suite and multiple separate living areas, making it ideal for multi-generational living, a professional home office, or a private gym.
With a lot size of only 3,877 square feet, the property offers relatively modest yard space, which may be a disadvantage for buyers prioritizing large gardens or extensive outdoor play areas.
At a list price of $2.2 million for 2,217 square feet, the property sits at a high price-per-square-foot threshold, requiring a buyer who specifically values the Albany Hills location over sheer interior volume.

Downstairs, a versatile bonus suite opens up a world of possibilities—ideal for guests or extended family, a home office, gym, media or home theater room, playroom, or private retreat. A large two-car garage provides additional storage and convenience. Set within the sought-after Albany school district, this hillside home feels tucked away while remaining remarkably convenient.
