1012 Masonic Ave Albany, CA 94706

Conveniently located between Berkeley's Westbrae neighborhood and the Solano Avenue shopping district, this handsome one-story bungalow has a hint of Spanish flair, with its grand picture window, tile-lined fireplace, and coved ceilings. When the house was renovated, first in the mid-90s, and a second time in the mid-2000s, many of those details were preserved. A rear extension includes a master bedroom and bathroom, laundry room and small deck leading to the back yard. The kitchen was updated with custom floor-to-ceiling maple cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, stone countertops and recessed lighting. Added modern bonuses include: a large, well-lit detached art studio in back, drought-friendly landscaping, raised vegetable beds, French doors, and a triple-pane front picture window. All your shopping, dining, amenities and transportation options are nearby. The Ohlone Greenway trail is across the street. The Walk Score® is 82 (Very Walkable)!
