Set in the heart of Albany, just a few blocks to Memorial Park, this three-bedroom, two- bathroom bungalow includes a one-bedroom, one-bathroom ADU. Punctuated by a mature Japanese maple, a lush front yard ushers guests towards a flagstone front porch. Across the threshold, you’ll be greeted by an approx. 2,236-square foot interior updated with fresh paint. Anchored in lovely hardwood floors, a sizable living room serves as the heart of the home, replete with a cozy fireplace and floor-to-ceiling bay window that frames views of the front yard. Thoughtfully appointed with a series of arched entryways, the home graciously unfolds to reveal a sunny dining room with custom built-ins and an oversized bay window. Decked in granite counters and stainless-steel appliances, a beautifully updated kitchen boasts a farm sink and light-soaked breakfast area. Completed by a generous bedroom, full bath, and laundry, the first floor features a recessed family room that spills into a generous side yard via glass sliders. A private sanctuary detached from the everyday noise, the upstairs reveals two bright, airy bedrooms. The rear of the home features an attached, one-bedroom ADU. Complete with a private entrance plus full updated kitchen and bath, the ADU is perfect for a live-in nanny or visiting in-laws. Welcoming alfresco entertaining with a fire pit, the side yard features a lush patch of lawn and flagstone patio. Located just two blocks to Kensington Farmers Market and top Albany schools, 1448 Portland Avenue is a short drive to El Cerrito Plaza, BART, and city- bound thoroughfares for convenient commutes.
