710 Cornell Ave, Albany, CA 94706

Description

In the heart of Albany, this sweet bungalow is primed for its next chapter. The light-filled two-bedroom, one-bath home sits in an ideal spot between bustling Solano Avenue and El Cerrito Plaza, with public transit close enough to make a car optional. An arched front entry, a nod to the home's 1920s roots, opens to warm original hardwood floors and a welcoming living room, where a skylight pours in even more natural light. Off the living room are two well-sized bedrooms and an updated bathroom, where yet another skylight brings in the California sunshine. A second graceful arch frames the dining area, which leads to a kitchen with quartz countertops and a gas stove, plus a separate laundry room. Just off the kitchen, there is a large, flat yard that offers plenty of room to garden, play, or entertain, with a patio for outdoor dining, a loquat tree, fig tree, and a prolific lemon tree, so lemonade is always in season. An attached one-car garage includes a side room for extra storage, perfect for bikes, tools, or garden supplies. Zoned for Albany’s top-rated schools and close to shopping, fine dining, parks, and transit, this home checks all the boxes!
