Warm and light-filled, this classic Albany Victorian is rich with character, beautifully balancing original details with thoughtful updates. Recently remodeled with permits, it honors the home’s history while bringing a fresh, modern sensibility. The gracious front room is anchored by a gas fireplace—an inviting place to curl up on a cool evening. Two bedrooms and a full bath are conveniently located on the main level. The updated kitchen overlooks the peaceful garden, creating a wonderful connection between indoors and out, bringing nature and natural light into the heart of the home. Upstairs, a private third bedroom and full bath are complemented by a versatile bonus space, ideal for a home office, reading nook, or creative retreat. The floor plan creates a wonderful sense of separation, with spaces that allow for both gathering and finding a quiet place of your own. The private backyard is a true garden oasis. Mature landscaping creates a beautiful, peaceful setting for dining, gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon outdoors. A huge bonus is the expansive garage beneath the house, extending the full footprint of the home. With plumbing and electrical already in place, there’s abundant room for storage, projects, and tinkering—it’s a maker’s dream with endless possibilities. The location is equally stellar. Just one block from Solano Avenue, favorite neighborhood restaurants, cafés, shops, and everyday conveniences are close at hand. Highly regarded Albany schools, nearby parks and transportation, and easy access to North Berkeley complete an exceptional neighborhood setting.
