Remarks

Welcome to 536 Kains Ave, a single-level craftsman for sale for the first time since it was constructed in 1947! This 2 bed, 1 bath home had pride of ownership and modern upgrades (updated electrical, plumbing, dual paned windows and a seismic retrofit), but it has not lost its craftsman character: step inside to find the original hardwood floors, a brick fireplace, an arched picture window and abundant built-in storage. The kitchen has been newly remodeled with shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, and new appliances and recessed lighting. The 3,800 sq ft lot includes a long driveway with new gate. A spacious detached garage has workshop, gym, or ADU potential. Newly landscaped front and backyards with sprouting olive and fig trees, lavender, sage, Camelia plants. Close to shops, restaurants (and food trucks) on Solano and San Pablo Aves. 0.9 Miles to El Cerrito Plaza BART, close to G and L transbay Bus Lines, I - 80 freeway. Albany Unified School District; buyer to verify school assignment.
