Spacious, gracious light-filled 2-BR, 1-BA Albany home with bay window, gleaming hardwood floors, solar panels, off-street parking, and detached garage. The generous, open layout offers comfortable, everyday living and is move-in ready. The beautifully updated kitchen has a Wolf induction range, Fisher Paykel refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, high-quality cabinets, granite countertops, and slate tile flooring. Additional features include dual-pane windows and an LG-equipped laundry room with a tankless water heater. The detached garage offers ample space for parking/storage, while the gardens provide lemons, rosemary, and raised planting beds, all nourished by an automatic drip system. You will grin when your electric bill shows how much $$$ you are saving with the solar panels. Because it enjoys the best of two worlds, Albany considers itself an “urban village by the Bay”. Culturally, it feels like a small town; geographically, it is nestled in a vibrant, sophisticated urban area. Convenient access to Solano and San Pablo Avenue cafes, restaurants, boutiques, and community events, are all right up the street. Ranch 99 Market, El Cerrito Plaza, BART, Trader Joe's, Pacific East Mall, Costco, Sprouts, Whole Foods, and Target are nearby. Other local amenities are Monument Park for picnicking, Aquatic Center swimming, and the Ohlone Greenway Exercise Course. You will never tire of hiking or biking the Eastshore Bay Trail at the Albany Bulb, which offers scenic off-leash vistas your dog will love. If you are commuting to SF or Marin, it’s about a mile to either freeway, and the Transbay express bus is just blocks away. Albany’s top-rated school district, stable property values, and lifestyle are highly desirable. Here is your opportunity to join us. OPEN HOUSES 05/30 AND 05/31 FROM 2-4:30
