Large, stylish, and flexible, this rare Albany Hill home surpasses expectations of what’s available in one of the East Bay’s most beloved communities. Set on the sunny, sheltered side of the hill, and extensively renovated in 2015, this home has newer systems, and modern finishes, making it easy to move in without skipping a beat. Here’s what’s happening inside… Upstairs, the open living room, dining room and kitchen take full advantage of the hillside outlook, with stunning wall-to-wall views of the Berkeley Hills; you can’t miss the famous campanile! Down the hall are three bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary suite with vaulted ceilings, private bath, double closets, and a peaceful patio. Downstairs is where things get especially interesting: a second living area with French doors to the large front deck, plus a separate bedroom with an en suite bath and laundry room. Guests, older kids, grandparents, home office, movie nights, general household sprawl…there’s room for everyone and everything. Outside, the professionally landscaped yard unfolds across multiple terraces, decks, flat areas to relax, BBQ, and play, with a pergola at the top of the hill overlooking it all. Night out? It’s an easy downhill stroll to Solano Avenue, known for its robust and worldly dining scene. No house can have it all…but this one comes pretty close!
