1120 Masonic AveAlbany, CA 94706

Perched along the Ohlone Greenway at an ideal nexus next to Westbrae in Albany, 1120 Masonic is an inviting and impeccably updated 2 BD, 1 BA home that preserves 1930s charm amid modern systems. Sleekly renovated kitchen and bathroom and well-sized bedrooms are framed by oversized dual-pane Milgard windows, hardwood floors, a Heath-tiled fireplace, high ceilings, and pleasant natural light. Meticulous upgrades abound in this home, including upgraded copper plumbing, French drain, electrical, seismic retrofitting, as well as a new roof, windows, tankless water heater, and Trex decking. The kitchen features Carrara marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, reverse osmosis water filter, automatic shades, an eat-in area with custom window-bench seating available, and stacked laundry near the back door. The kitchen opens onto a porch into the landscaped backyard—flat, fenced, and manicured with a lawn, entertaining patio, detached garage, and plenty of bed space for growing even more than the magnolias, olive trees, lavender, Japanese Holly and rosemary that already grace the space now. This turnkey home is a genuine labor of love in an optimal location, a quintessential East Bay charmer that’s hard not to love. The surrounding neighborhood is filled with fan-favorites just steps away, including Coffee Conscious, Berkeley Natural Grocery, Monterey Market, Gioia Pizza, Berkeley Bagels, Philz Coffee, Meson (coming soon to the Three One Four location), School of Rock, Jewel’s Terrace Park, and more! The Ohlone Greenway across the street is perfect for dog-walks, runs, and bike rides, while Marin Ave takes you straight to the freeway when the abundant nearby public transportation doesn't suit. Come see for yourself: you won't want to leave!
