This 1925 Craftsman has been beautifully and extensively remodeled, as stated in the description and evidenced by the images. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, clean wood cabinetry, and well-maintained tiled countertops and backsplash. While the kitchen tile style is specific, it is part of a recent update, not an outdated feature. Both bathrooms are fully renovated with modern vanities, fixtures, subway tile showers, and hexagonal floor tiles, appearing virtually new. Hardwood floors are pristine throughout the main living areas and bedrooms. The property shows no signs of deferred maintenance, and all visible components, including the permitted ADU and detached bonus room, are in excellent, updated condition, meeting current quality standards.

Income Potential & Versatility: Features a permitted ADU studio with its own address and a permitted detached bonus room with a full bath, providing significant income potential or flexible options for a home office, guest retreat, or multi-generational living.
Modernized Craftsman Charm: Beautifully remodeled, this Craftsman seamlessly blends classic details like a welcoming front porch, built-ins, and hardwood floors with modern updates in the kitchen and baths, creating an inviting and updated living space.
Excellent Outdoor Living Spaces: Situated on a sunny corner lot with a lush front garden for curb appeal, a spacious outdoor deck ideal for entertaining, and a private fenced backyard perfect for gardening or play.
Strong School District Access: Located in proximity to several highly-rated public schools, including Albany High (9), Albany Middle (9), and Martin Luther King Middle (7), enhancing its appeal for families.

Cons

Age of Original Structure: Built in 1925, despite significant remodels, the underlying infrastructure of an older home may require ongoing maintenance or present unforeseen issues typical of properties of this age.
Corner Lot Considerations: While offering good light, a corner lot can sometimes lead to increased exposure to street noise or reduced privacy compared to an interior lot, depending on the specific intersection.
Absence of Central Cooling: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a comfort consideration for residents during warmer periods, especially given Berkeley's climate trends.
