Captivating Craftsman bungalow in the heart of Albany! Full of character and thoughtfully updated, this inviting 2+ bedroom, 1.5-bath bungalow features a detached studio*, beautifully landscaped backyard, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. Intricately tiled stairs lead to a welcoming covered front porch and light-filled entry. The spacious living room and separate dining room feature random-plank hardwood floors and abundant natural light, with a skylight adding warmth and character. The updated kitchen offers modern cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and a convenient eat-in area that opens directly to the covered back porch. Upstairs, the primary bedroom overlooks the Albany hillside and features white oak hardwood floors and a generous built-in closet. The sec ond bedroom has its own skylight and connects to a rear hallway with a half bath and bonus room* overlooking the backyard. Both bathrooms have been refreshed with updated sinks, fixtures, and lighting, while subway tile adds timeless appeal to the main bath. The covered back porch extends the living space outdoors to a lush, private backyard oasis. 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.
