Welcome to 1535 Posen Avenue in Albany, a beautiful Craftsman home with period-style architecture. A perfect combination of original details and modern convenience. Elegant living room with wood-burning fireplace, formal dining room featuring Craftsman built-ins, and a gorgeous Sue Johnson light fixture. Two bedrooms and one bath on the main floor. Double-pane Pella windows throughout. The remodeled kitchen (2005) is a chef's dream with fireproof Italian soapstone counters, stainless steel appliances, a slate floor, a farmhouse sink, and abundant cabinetry. This fabulous kitchen will be the heart of your home - it opens to the expansive family room with a gas fireplace, and French doors opening to a parklike backyard. Solar panels and an electric car charging station are in place! Hardscape and pavers lead to a cottage/workshop, and decks. This area could be the perfect spot for a hot tub. Plus, the entire yard is fenced. The upper floor addition features three bedrooms and two baths, including a primary bedroom with an ensuite bath, constructed in 2004. Upstairs hardwood oak floors and a staircase were also added in 2024. Located in one of Albany's most coveted neighborhoods. Monterey Market and other favorites are a block away.
