Property Description
This rare Albany single-family plus ADU offers remarkable flexibility in a close-to-everything location. Your 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath main house is updated and modern-equipped, while retaining its vintage bungalow charm. Your detached studio ADU, built in 2019, adds another full kitchen, full bath, and air conditioning, perfect for guests, extra living space, workspace, or rental income. Both open to a landscaped level yard designed for al fresco dining, entertaining and play. The main house has hardwood floors throughout and two recently renovated full baths, with a large skylit eat-in kitchen that opens to the rear deck and yard. Across the patio are French doors to enter the ADU, with a spacious, openspace design, appealing as an extension of the house, or supporting a family compound living arrangement, yet separate enough to rent for income. With all the important updates and upkeep done for you, move right in and create your dream! Walk or bike to Solano, Gilman, and Hopkins/Monterey attractions. Easy highway, BART and bus access.
