Charming, light-filled bungalow in A+ location! Nestled on a tranquil street in coveted Albany Terrace, 1492 Sonoma is just steps to Marin Elementary, a few blocks to Solano Ave., and minutes to Monterey Market, Westbrae, N. Berkeley BART, and freeways. The comfortable floorplan features a welcoming foyer, spacious living room with picture window framing lemon trees in the sunny front yard, formal dining room with built-in cabinets, an updated, eat-in kitchen with pantry and adjacent laundry room, and a sleeping area with 2 bedrooms on opposite ends of a hallway with shared bathroom. Architectural elements--including graceful archways, niches for displaying art, built-ins, and refinished hardwood floors--infuse the home with character and warmth. The back yard retreat features a large sunny redwood deck overlooking a stately sycamore, fig and maple trees, with a few steps down to a rustic stone patio, garden beds, and patch of grass. A long driveway provides plenty of off-street parking, and the detached garage offers many possibilities. Interior/exterior painted in 2023, new roof installed in 2020. This is a rare and special home.
