902 Carmel is a lovely split-level McGregor house built in 1924. The property was originally constructed as a 5-bedroom dwelling. It was later converted from residential to commercial use as Mountain Travel, a travel agency that also had the adjoining property, which faces Solano Ave. Its most recent commercial use was as 8 separate therapy offices. It has a full bathroom on the second floor and a half bathroom on the ground floor. The current owners have recently made the following updates and improvements to the property: New roof, 2025 Refinished and installed hardwood floors, 2025 Upgraded wifi (Sonic) for commercial use, 2026 New main electrical panel, 2026 Remodeled full bathroom, 2026 The property has an office kitchenette, but the full kitchen was removed during the conversion to commercial. The owners have approval from Albany’s planning department to reinstall a full kitchen, add a bathroom, and convert the property from commercial to residential use. Completing this process to receive the building permit will involve installing sprinklers in the ceilings and taking out the driveway curb cut (as the garage had been converted to an office). The owners opted to retain the property’s commercial character. The property is available for sale ($1.3M) or for lease (triple net, $8k/month). Conventional residential financing would not work for this transaction. Commercial, cash, or hard money only.

Gazing out from the rooftop deck over the backyard of 830 Cornell, you will have many difficult decisions ahead. First of all: What’s your favorite part? Is it the gold-streaked sunset over Albany Hill? The sumptuous aromas tempting you to visit Solano’s restaurants? Or is your prize the comfort & seclusion of the private yard & patio right below you? More choices await you. Let’s take a look inside! Behind the charming MacGregor-style facade is the long & spacious living room. Does this include your main dining area, or would you rather use the eat-in kitchen’s abundant breakfast nook? Ah, decisions, decisions! Which of the three spacious bedrooms will be yours? What to cook in the well-appointed & updated kitchen? & out back there are more options: Go up a few steps to visit that private elevated terrace or go down the steps to the covered patio & a secluded bonus space*. This room has laundry hookups, but is much larger than the phrase “laundry room” suggests. It's well suited for hobbies like painting, workouts, crafting, or hosting game nights, but would also make a great office. It looks out onto the greenhouse windows so you can see the backyard with mature fruit trees & its timeless grace. The patio & yard combine for a perfect space for entertainments like birthday parties or a BBQ. Trader Joe’s is slightly closer than Sprouts & Whole Foods, but nothing is out of the way here in Albany. Don’t feel like cooking? More hard choices await! Like, what's the best way to follow up a night out for dinner at Little Star**, Zaytoon, 5 Tacos, Lulu’s Kitchen, or the illustrious Juanita & Maude? Local favorites like As You Wish Froyo, Mr Dewie’s Cashew Creamery? Or perhaps a nip at Best Friends (pet-friendly wine bar), Ocean View Brew Works, The Mallard, or even The Hotsy Totsy! Uh, Oh, are you worried about driving home? Not with your house’s 93 Walk Score® & 98 Bike Score™, you aren’t! It’s all part of the joy of small-town living, like sitting at Hal’s Cafe in the morning & getting to know the kids who troop by with Cornell Elementary’s Walking School Bus, or giving a well-earned cheer to the helpful members of the beloved Blue Glove Crew! All while big city delights & utility are never far away. Come see why Albany is such a special place to call home. The choice is easier than you think. *Buyer to verify use of space. **Apologies to the Zachary’s aficionados; Little Star is less than a block away, & that semolina crust deep dish is tough competition!

Original Since 1926 To all you lovers of a project: you’re in luck. 736 Key Route Boulevard has been preserved almost entirely in its original condition, and it’s ready for new owners who will keep preserving it - or re-envision it. It does need quite a bit of work. This charming one-bedroom has its original kitchen, beautiful hardwood floors, and period light fixtures, a few of which we believe still hold bulbs that have been burning since 1926. Lovers of vintage character will find a lot to work with here: the original details, the beautiful floor tiles in the bathroom - or the light that comes through the many windows. Anyone with bigger plans will notice the 3,800 sq ft lot, which offers real flexibility to expand, add an ADU, or reimagine the property entirely. Out back, the yard is full of fruit trees: a Red Delicious apple, quince, plum, orange, and two varieties of fig, plus an olive tree that produces olives when it feels like it. The house is a block and a half from Solano Avenue’s cafés and shops, really the location doesn't get much more convenient.

Just past the open railing, a flex space waits for whatever you dream up: mudroom, home office, or a quiet corner for yoga or Pilates. The main living space opens up with classic mid century lines, tall ceilings, and natural light pouring through an entire wall of windows. Light oak flooring carries you through the level, with nature surrounding you at every turn. This is California indoor outdoor living at its best. Flow from the backyard to the heart of the home, then out to the front deck to take in views from every angle.

It enjoys the same beautiful light and views while offering a true sanctuary at the end of the day. Each bathroom has its own personality, a conversation piece and a wow moment all its own.
