Beautifully remodeled and expanded, this elegant Albany home exudes pride of ownership and curb appeal from the moment you arrive. The inviting front landscape features brick paver pathways, mature plantings, and a thoughtfully designed entry that sets the tone for the home's warmth and sophistication. Offering approximately 1,817 sq. ft. of living space on a flat 3,600 sq. ft. lot, it's ideally located in central Albany-close to top-rated schools, parks, Solano and Gilman Avenue shops and eateries, BART, UC Berkeley, and I-80. Inside, the open living and dining area with a fireplace creates an inviting space for gatherings, flowing seamlessly to a beautifully remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances, modern finishes, and elegant design details. The kitchen connects both to a spacious family room below and a light-filled primary suite above. The family room opens through French sliding doors to a private deck and garden with patio and mature, low-maintenance landscaping-perfect for indoor-outdoor living. A nearby bath with radiant heated floors and Toto washlet complements a vintage wood-paneled bonus room, ideal for an office or hobby room. Upstairs, the west-facing primary suite offers a generous walk-in closet and an elegant en-suite bath. Much more, a must see!
