This sunny Mediterranean 1930s split-level home is the perfect retreat in the heart of Albany. You’ll feel miles away in this garden oasis, yet you can leave the car behind to explore nearby parks, aquatic center, the Kensington farmers’ market, and the lively shops and restaurants of Solano Avenue. A vintage 1930s MacGregor-built home, it has been lovingly maintained and upgraded while maintaining its authentic character. With two bright bedrooms upstairs, and a bedroom and dreamy greenhouse below, there is excellent separation of space. The gourmet kitchen is framed in original Vetrazzo counters with custom-spalted maple cabinets, and has a Viking range. It opens to the charming breakfast nook, deck, and an outdoor dining flagstone patio overlooking the magical garden. The interior is thoughtfully crafted with custom maple woodwork, coved ceilings, and built-in bookshelves. Vintage light fixtures, custom ceramic tiles, and other artistic touches create a unique and warm tone.
