About This Property
Beautiful brown-shingle Craftsman home (1957 Sq Ft) with attached ADU apartment (600 Sq Ft) and shop/garage (650 Sq Ft), located on large private lot with extensive flower and food gardens. Lovingly built and detailed by an artist-and-craftsman couple, blending Energy Star construction (1998) with handmade character throughout — stained glass windows, custom tilework, hardwood floors, vintage re-purposed cabinetry, and old-growth clear fir trim milled from 70-year-old Albany High School bleacher boards are just some of the features. The mostly flat and secluded 9,148 sq. ft. lot sits on a quiet, walkable cul-de-sac in the Friendly Street neighborhood. The lot is filled with organic flower and food gardens, a koi pond with waterfall, and a food forest of plum, peach, and pear trees, grapes, blueberries, and strawberries. The open floor plan main house has 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, bonus office and sunroom, along with large covered front and rear porches. No step wheelchair accessible entry is ideal for aging in place. There is an attached finished shop or 1 car garage with two bonus rooms for utility storage, artist studio, etc. It is wired with 220 and 110 volt circuits, has tall ceilings and lots of overhead storage. An attached and private covered carport completes the main living quarters. The separate, attached 600 Sq Ft ADU studio apartment is permitted and is located over the garage. It can be rented or easily modified to connect to main house if desired. It has its own private covered deck and garden space.
