609 San Carlos Ave, Albany, CA 94706

Welcome to this fabulous cosmetic fixer- a home where the past & the future meet. For more than 40 years, this house has been the heart of a family, filled with the sound of two boys running through the halls, pulling pranks, and filling every corner with laughter. The living room with its original tiled fireplace & mantle has hosted countless gatherings, while the dining room has been the setting for holidays, birthdays, and dinners that brought everyone together. Step inside & you’ll feel the soul of the home immediately—gleaming inlaid hardwood floors, a vintage kitchen that is both functional & full of potential, & upstairs, a dreamy attic retreat with skylights, perfect for a teen lounge, hobby space, or cozy movie room. An additional office upstairs adds flexibility, & with 4 bedrooms & 1 bathroom, there is room to reconfigure or even add another bath. Outside, the backyard is wide and inviting, ideal for gardening, entertaining, or enjoying Albany’s sunny afternoons—complete with the succulents the owner once won awards for. Best of all, this gem sits on one of Albany’s most coveted streets, just steps to Solano Avenue shops & cafés, Memorial Park, & top-rated Albany schools. Ready to live in now & bursting with potential, this diamond in the rough you’ve been waiting for!
