Make the Choice to Fall In Love with Albany

Gazing out from the rooftop deck over the backyard of 830 Cornell, you will have many difficult decisions ahead. First of all: What’s your favorite part? Is it the gold-streaked sunset over Albany Hill? The sumptuous aromas tempting you to visit Solano’s restaurants? Or is your prize the comfort and seclusion of the private yard and patio right below you? More choices await you. Let’s take a look inside! Behind the charming MacGregor-style facade is the long and spacious living room. Does this include your main dining area, or would you rather use the eat-in kitchen’s abundant breakfast nook? Ah, decisions, decisions! Which of the three spacious bedrooms will be yours? What to cook in the well-appointed and updated kitchen? And out back there are more options: Go up a few steps to visit that private elevated terrace or go down the steps to the covered patio and a secluded bonus space*. This room has laundry hookups, but is much larger than the phrase “laundry room” suggests. It's well suited for hobbies like painting, crafting, or hosting game nights, but would also make a great office. It looks out onto the greenhouse windows so you can see the backyard with mature fruit trees and its timeless grace. The patio and yard combine for a perfect space for entertainments like birthday parties or a BBQ. Trader Joe’s is slightly closer than Sprouts and Whole Foods, but nothing is out of the way here in Albany. Don’t feel like cooking? More hard choices await! Like, what's the best way to follow up a night out for dinner at Little Star**, Zaytoon, 5 Tacos, Lulu’s Kitchen, Yonsei Handrolls, or the illustrious Juanita and Maude? Local favorites like As You Wish Froyo, Mr Dewie’s Cashew Creamery? Or perhaps a nip at Best Friends (pet-friendly w**e bar), Ocean View Brew Works, The Mallard, or even The Hotsy Totsy! Uh, Oh, are you worried about driving home? Not with your house’s 93 Walk Score® and 98 Bike Score™, you aren’t! It’s all part of the joy of small-town living, like sitting at Hal’s Cafe in the morning and getting to know the kids who troop by with Cornell Elementary’s Walking School Bus, or giving a well-earned cheer to the helpful members of the beloved Blue Glove Crew! All while big city delights and utility are never far away. Come see why Albany is such a special place to call home. The choice is easier than you think.

**Apologies to the Zachary’s aficionados; Little Star is less than a block away, and that semolina crust deep dish is tough competition!

*Buyer to verify use of space. Neither seller nor listing agent has investigated or verified the accuracy of any of these sources of information nor that these spaces are or may be made into legally habitable spaces. Buyer must conduct their own investigation with the city and appropriate professionals and rely solely on that investigation.

Taking a moment to celebrate a great sale. My clients came to me after the unfortunate passing of their mother. With careful strategy and tactical repairs we were able to far exceed their expectations, receiving 14 offers and a beautiful sold price. The money is going to the decedents children for whom this is a life altering outcome.

With special thanks to Shannon Prokup and Eve Levine who stepped in to help when I had to be traveling during the listing period. Also shout out to the Red Oak Realty marketing team and admin, Jvm Sales lending, Buyer's Agent Orr Harrari, and all the vendors who contribute to prep!

Sadly, you have to buy the house before you can enjoy the hot tub or sauna. But the neighbors across the street are exceptional!
