Imagine a serene retreat in Albany, just two blocks from Solano Avenue, thoughtfully enhanced by a professor of Buddhism to delight and soothe your senses. The house itself is designed to bring the outside in with a well placed sunroom and multiple skylights. Behind the front gate is a lush, lovingly-curated garden with a hot tub. A 2017 remodel enlarged the home to add a beautiful upstairs guest room/office. Another room can flex between a second bedroom or a family room*, with a sliding barn door to separate it from the living room. Office potential is found in both a room off the primary bedroom and a nicely finished garage with a separate entrance.* The updated kitchen and bath match the clean, modern style of the rest of the house. This house offers the best complement of indoor and outdoor living combined with access to favorite amenities such as Memorial Park and El Cerrito Plaza BART. Don't forget Albany's top-rated schools. * Buyer to verify use with the city.
