961 TIARA ST

Brown-shingle Craftsman lovingly built and detailed by an artist-and-craftsman couple, blending Energy Star construction (1998) with handmade character throughout — stained glass windows, custom tilework, hardwood floors, repurposed doors, vintage cabinetry, and old-growth clear fir trim milled from 70-year-old Albany High School bleacher boards. The mostly flat 9,148 sq. ft. lot sits on a quiet, walkable cul-de-sac in the Friendly neighborhood, surrounded by organic gardens, a koi pond with waterfall, and a food forest of plum, peach, and pear trees, grapes, blueberries, and strawberries. Main house is 1957 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, office and sunroom, plus 650 square feet finished 3 room garage/shop complex and private covered carport. 600 square foot ADU studio apartment over garage, can be rented or easily modified to connect to main house if desired. No step entry ideal for aging in place. Multiple private porches and decks for hanging out.
