1136 Marin Ave, Albany, CA 94706

This just might be the happiest corner in Albany. Set on a sunny lot just one block from Solano Avenue this vibrant home radiates personality! The stately arched entry gives a glimpse at what's inside…First you're welcomed by a stunning living room with hardwood floors under foot, a pitched ceiling above, fireplace, and a charming Juliet balcony; It’s the kind of room one dreams of when imagining their forever home. The formal dining room faces peaceful Stannage Street, setting the stage for dinners and weekend gatherings. Nearby, the eat-in kitchen brings its own dose of joy, adorned with hand-painted Mexican tiles. Down the hallway are three bedrooms, each with its own personality, and the upstairs full bath features a unique tiled vanity and dual sinks. The lower level (with interior access) opens up a world of possibilities: a versatile bonus space with a kitchenette, second full bath*, and room to work, host, or spread out when life gets busy. And then there’s the magical backyard. Flat and made for celebration, the Saltillo tile patio wraps around a gorgeous clay fountain. A courtyard where music plays, and warm evening gatherings stretch late into the night. Close your eyes, and you might just forget you’re in the bustling East Bay entirely.
