1498 Sonoma Ave

Welcome to 1498 Sonoma Ave, your quintessential 2 BD, 2 BA Albany Craftsman in a phenomenal location. This home has been impeccably updated while still preserving its charm and original period details: abundant natural light, oversized windows, clever use of space, natural wood built-ins, beautiful landscaping, and comfort abound. The floor plan sees the cozy bedrooms and sleekly updated bathrooms in convenient proximity to one another on one side of the house. The kitchen is warm and open, boasting stainless steel appliances, ample cabinet space, soapstone countertops, a breakfast nook, and adjacent laundry room that heads out to the backyard. The private backyard is perfect for all your outdoor affinities, with a deck, patio, and lawn, as well as automatic sprinklers and ambient solar & string lights set on timer. A large converted garage offers a convenient EV charger on the exterior and an additional 450-square-feet of flexible space inside. A 600-square-foot basement under the home has built-in workshop areas and tons of storage space. The appeal of this home's location cannot be overstated: a peaceful neighborhood feel next to main connective artery Marin Ave without actually being on it, Marin Elementary down the street, and all the joys of Solano Ave just two blocks over.
