jaw-dropping bay views & a walk-everywhere lifestyle

This is the Albany unicorn—sweeping, unobstructed views of the San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate Bridge, and Marin Headlands paired with a coveted walkable Solano Avenue address. Rarely do you find a home that delivers both. Perched on a quiet Albany hillside in this highly desired neighborhood, enjoy golden sunsets or savoring quiet mornings with Bay views on your front deck, this home captures the essence of Albany: community, convenience, and a lifestyle that never goes out of style. Inside, natural light pours through oversized picture windows, framing the views like living artwork. The striking stone fireplace anchors the open living and dining areas, while the open kitchen blends style with everyday function. The island kitchen with stainless steel appliances offers plenty of storage and counterspace for a chef's delight. Inside, double pane windows and a dedicated laundry room makes everyday living simple. The primary suite opens through sliding glass doors directly to a private, easy-care backyard retreat—a secluded outdoor haven for peaceful moments or effortless entertaining. A two-car garage provides generous storage and flexibility downstairs. 

Once a true three-bedroom, the home now features two bedrooms plus a dedicated office—thanks to the addition of an interior staircase. If a third bedroom fits your lifestyle better, reclaiming it is effortless, with a simple conversion back to its original layout. ​The water heater was installed in 2021 and ​a new roof was installed in 2023. 

Step outside and you’re moments from the best of Albany living: boutique shopping and celebrated dining along Solano Avenue, natural wine tastings at Best Friends, specialty finds at Of All Places, and waterside adventures at Albany Bulb and nearby Point Isabel. Top-rated Albany schools and effortless ease to El Cerrito BART, UC Berkeley, and instant access to Highways 80/580 make this location as practical as it is picturesque. Whether you’re entertaining under golden sunsets or savoring quiet mornings with Bay views, this home captures the essence of Albany: community, convenience, and a lifestyle that never goes out of style. ​Updated with newer roof, newer water heater, solar panels, double pane windows, and so much more!

Move-in ready, view-rich, and perfectly located in one of the Easy Bay's most walkable communities—835 Solano is a rare chance to own the ultimate Albany lifestyle. For more information contact listing agent Milana Ostroy  

Neighborhood

Residents of Albany enjoy convenient access to the Bay Bridge with a fraction of the population density found in San Francisco. Located just a few miles northwest of Berkeley, the real estate in Albany ranges from highrise, oceanview condos up to single family homes less than a mile from the Albany State Marine Reserve.

Albany's trifecta of entertainment, community, and access makes it one of the absolute best neighborhoods in the entire Bay Area. First, there is Solano Avenue, an amazingly well-kept Bay Area street with various amenities. Additionally, Albany provides easy access to the rest of the Bay Area. Bordering Berkeley, you've got quick access to CAL, and a quick commute to SF via BART and the Transbay Bus. Best of all, you're along the I-80 corridor, making this neighborhood more accessible to Lake Tahoe without any of the Bay Bridge Traffic and just a quick jaunt to Marin County over the Richmond Bridge. Interstate 80 and 580 run down the western border of Albany, which makes for an easy commute to and from Oakland, San Francisco, and several other Bay Area communities.

Albany is in the perfect location for undergraduate and graduate students. UC Berkeley is less than three miles away and can be easily accessed with a short ride on Route 52. Business school students and professors can walk or ride to the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station.

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the full slate of amenities offered at Albany Hill Park, like a brisk hike through the eucalyptus tree-lined trail with the occasional views of the San Francisco Bay. Or, residents can jump on the Bay Trail and enjoy incredible SF views while walking or biking.

If you're looking for entertainment and culture, Albany residents can find it all close to home.
