1047 Ordway St

Set on a charming street dotted with lovely bungalows, this Albany abode is in a coveted location near the beloved Terrace Park and Solano Avenue’s buzzing boutiques and eateries. Originally built in 1926 and peppered with period details, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom home affords 1,458-square feet, along with a detached studio at the rear.

Approaching from the front, guests are welcomed into a quaint foyer lined in refinished hardwoods. Anchored by a marble-clad fireplace, a cozy living room bleeds seamlessly into a

formal dining room through an arched entryway. Decked in classic crown molding and chunky baseboards, an ornate ceiling medallion harkens back to a bygone era.

An updated kitchen sets the tone for family gatherings, appointed with granite counters, ample cabinet space, and a built-in desk. Two gracious bedrooms offer a quiet reprieve, serviced by a full bath with jetted tub and pedestal sink. At the rear of the house, a voluminous family room with separate bathroom could easily be partitioned into a third bedroom. There are two sets of sliding glass doors that spill outward to the backyard.

Poised for many uses, a detached studio with vaulted ceilings is replete with French doors that open outward to the backyard. Equipped with a sunny deck and drought-resistant landscaping, the backyard could easily be transformed into an outdoor oasis. Located near the Hopkins area amenities, Monterrey Market, Target and Whole Foods, along with BART and the Trans Bay Express bus stop, the 80-Freeway is also a short distance for commuter convenience.
