911 Ventura Ave, Albany, CA, 94707

Luminous home in location perfection! Nestle into this sweet family home in highly-coveted Albany. Gorgeous southern light pours into this spacious craftsman, replete with period details. Lovingly maintained by a woodworker for many years, the built-ins, wainscoting, plate rail, and stone fireplace are in pristine condition. Sprawl out! The main floor is comprised of a traditional living/dining room but with the added bonus of a family room with great western sunlight. The kitchen and pantry are a model of efficiency. Two bedrooms and a bathroom on the north side, plus an ample en-suite bedroom looking out onto a gorgeous yard complete this level.  Down the graceful staircase (trim is old-growth redwood) lies another spacious room, plus half-bath and laundry. Perfect for an office, friends, in-laws or that teen of yours... At the rear, there's a solid workshop with 220V power which can be used as-is, or convert to suit your needs. An expansive sun-drenched deck creates great flow between the house, workshop and yard, and raised veggie beds provide extra space to garden. In addition, a partial basement and crawl space provide plenty of storage. Parks, shopping, and buzz-worthy restaurants are all super convenient as are the legendary Albany public schools.
