The happiest place in Albany! With its history as a beloved neighborhood daycare, this home remains a place where creativity and community thrive. The living room is bathed in natural light. The dining room?s rock fireplace creates a cozy centerpiece, crowned by a shell light fixture that adds a touch of coastal elegance. The eat-in kitchen features custom cabinetry, riverstone backsplash details, and a palette of soothing hues. Adjacent is a sunlit mudroom with cubbies for keeping the accouterments of comfort and joy. With three bedrooms and a full bath on this level, the layout can effortlessly host a cheerful life. More potential abounds on the lower level. With a full bath, a small kitchenette, and ample space, this area sprinkles in more sugar, spice, and everything nice. Outside, low-maintenance landscaping frosts a yard tailored for adventure. A sturdy play structure is ready for youthful escapades, while a spacious deck sets the stage for grown-up lounging and alfresco dining. The large garage and a separate studio offer possibilities for work, hobbies, or even a future ADU. Enjoy the fun of the vibrant neighborhood nightlife via a rich cluster of restaurants (everything from Little Star Pizza to fine dining at Juanita and Maude), great local bars, and sweet treats.
