609 San Carlos Ave

Welcome to this fabulous- a home where the past & the future meet. For more than 40 years, this house has been the heart of a family, filled with the sound of two boys running through the halls, pulling pranks, and filling every corner with laughter. The living room with its original tiled fireplace & mantle has hosted countless gatherings, while the dining room has been the setting for holidays, birthdays, and dinners that brought everyone together. Step inside & you'll feel the soul of the home immediately--gleaming inlaid hardwood floors, a vintage kitchen that is both functional & full of potential, & upstairs, a dreamy attic retreat with skylights, perfect for a teen lounge, hobby space, or cozy movie room. An additional office upstairs adds flexibility, & with 4 bedrooms & 1 bathroom, there is room to reconfigure or even add another bath. Outside, the backyard is wide and inviting, ideal for gardening, entertaining, or enjoying Albany's sunny afternoons--complete with the succulents the owner once won awards for. Best of all, this gem sits on one of Albany's most coveted streets, just steps to Solano Avenue shops & cafes, Memorial Park, & top-rated Albany schools. Ready to live in now & bursting with potential, this diamond in the rough you've been waiting for!
