Property Description

First time on the market in 36+ years. This classic 1929 Albany home blends original architectural character with tasteful updates in a highly sought-after walkable location near Solano Ave shops, cafés, Gilman District retail, El Cerrito Plaza, BART, AC Transit & freeway access. Architectural details shine throughout: unique archways, original mouldings, tray ceilings, a brick fireplace and a bay window that fills the living room with natural light. Refinished hardwood floors and new stainless steel appliances complement the kitchen's vintage charm, including a pantry and an original built-in ironing board preserved in place. The large finished lower level offers flexible bonus space for a family room, office, playroom or creative use, plus a separate laundry room and extensive storage. The backyard is a whimsical private oasis with mature plantings, a swing beneath ivy, and low-maintenance landscaping in both front and back. Conveniently located near local parks, Albany schools, farm stands, and weekend community activities. A rare and special opportunity to own a home with warmth, character and space in one of Albany's most beloved neighborhoods. Open Saturday & Sunday 2-4pm
