Welcome to 1026 Ventura Avenue, a stunning 5BR/4BA Craftsman on a charming tree-lined street. This dreamboat location puts Solano Avenue cafés, Westbrae shops, and Hopkins Street favorites like Monterey Market moments away.
Step inside through an inviting entryway with crown moulding and pocket doors into the light-filled living room, where original hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, and picture windows frame a graceful maple tree. The spacious dining room with elegant wainscoting flows to an open kitchen outfitted with Viking appliances, quartz counters, and a breakfast bar perfect for pancakes before school or wine nights with friends.
Three bedrooms on the main level offer flexibility, including an ideal guest or au pair suite with private entrance and convenient laundry. Upstairs, the primary retreat delivers Bay views, bath with dual sinks and walk-in shower, plus a sunny lofted den. Outside, the backyard is an oasis reimagined by the owners complete with pergola draped in flowering vines, porch swing, and patio with heat, lovingly planted persimmon, apple, and orange trees, and raised bed gardens. A finished outbuilding adds flex space for a gym, storage.
Extensive upgrades include plumbing, wiring, foundation, dual-pane windows, tankless water heater, and central heat & AC, attic and wall insulation plus more. Top-rated Albany schools, neighborhood parks, and easy BART access make this the ultimate family-friendly hub for Bay Area living!
