The best of Albany is right out your front door in this upgraded Mediterranean charmer, currently configured as 3BD/2BA with a spacious, finished lower level. Architecturally rich with a hint of Moroccan style, the 1,911 SQFT home welcomes you with a beautiful portico covered porch. Inside the oversized living room, sunlight streams through the large peaked window highlighting the fireplace with preserved vintage tile. Inlaid hardwood floors span into the spacious dining room to the newly upgraded kitchen: classically styled with white cabinets and stainless steel appliances, boasting a great layout for the home chef. The bedroom wing is complete with two bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite overlooking the garden with an updated en-suite bath, as well as a second full bathroom. Through an adjoining workstation and laundry area, the home's lower level is currently used as a bedroom, but remains flexible for office, storage or playroom. Outside, a grapevine covered trellis, lemon & plum trees, garden beds, and mature landscaping surround the level backyard ready for entertaining, relaxation, or play. The flexible garage offers many possibilities. Solano Avenue's lively shopping, dining, and amenities are steps away, with coveted public schools, parks and BART nearby.
