A cobblestone patio with pergola creates an inviting setting for dining and entertaining, complemented by a raised garden bed, mature plantings, flowering wisteria, and newer fencing. A finished detached structure* with distressed hardwood floors and vaulted ceiling offers flexible space for a home office, creative workspace, or art studio. An attached one-car garage and unfinished basement room with laundry provide valuable storage and utility space. Recent improvements include double-pane windows (2002), rebuilt back deck (2023), newer fencing and professional landscaping with irrigation (2024), heat pump HVAC and ductwork (2024), roof (2024), copper plumbing (2025), and updated ceiling lights and fans (2026). Ideally located just blocks from the shops and restaurants of Solano Avenue and close to El Cerrito Plaza. Enjoy local dining, entertainment, groceries, and neighborhood amenities—all within easy reach. A rare combination of character, privacy, versatility, and convenience in one of Albany's most connected neighborhoods. *Buyer to investigate.
