Wonderful starter home on a great Albany location just a few blocks to EC Plaza and BART. This gorgeous cottage with its original charm has 1 bedroom and 1 bath with a detached studio with full bath in the back. This little gem is filled with natural light, has a cozy living room with fireplace, refinished original hardwood floors, open kitchen with a sunny eating area off the kitchen and a partial basement. Many upgrades: double pane windows, updated bathroom, copper plumbing, upgraded electrical, newer high efficiency furnace, newer water heater. The detached studio features a great layout with tons of natural light, a full bathroom, a closet, cabinets, wet-bar, beautiful bamboo floors, dual-pane windows, gas wall heater and a separate gas water heater. It is an ideal candidate for ADU conversion or for use as a study or a private home office over looking a beautifully landscaped low maintenance yard. Very convenient location. Albany schools.
