Welcome to 821 Polk St., an absolutely charming home perched atop Albany Hill. There is a real sweetness to this 1940's home - no clutter, loads of warmth, and softly integrated with nature. This sunny + spacious home looks out onto the East Bay hills and is bigger than it appears, with 4+ beds, 2-3/4 baths, a large family room, and a gorgeously updated in-law with exterior access. The thoughtful floor plan allows for a modern-day lifestyle intertwined with busy days working from home, backyard urban farming, hosting out-of-town guests, creating culinary delights, or relaxing on the deck as the sun sets for the night. The front yard is dotted with drought-tolerant plantings and the porch happily welcomes visitors. Out back you will find fruit trees and garden beds full of edible delights. Albany is known for its unique, small-town feel, temperate climate, and friendly vibe. This wonderful home is close to Solano Ave shops + restaurants, Sprouts + Whole Foods, hiking + parks, BART.
