About this single-family home
Welcome to 862 Hillside Ave, a rare opportunity to own a view home in one of Albany’s most sought-after locations. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath detached residence captures sweeping, unobstructed views of the Bay, Bay Bridge, San Francisco skyline, and rolling hills-an exceptional combination that rarely comes to market. Set on a hillside lot to fully maximize the scenery, the home offers a thoughtfully open floor plan layout with incredible indoor-outdoor flow. A detached garage sits above with additional storage space below, while a connecting deck creates a unique outdoor retreat-perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the ever-changing views. The main level is the true showpiece of the home, featuring soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive windows that frame the landscape like artwork. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas are filled with natural light and designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A spacious balcony extends directly from this level, offering a front-row seat to some of the best views in the East Bay. This floor also includes an office and a half bath, ideal for guests or flexible use. The lower level provides privacy and comfort with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, along with a second balcony that mirrors the upper level-ensuring the views can be enjoyed from multiple living spaces. Adding significant upside, the property includes a potential ADU space with existing flooring and finished walls, offering excellent flexibility for extended living, rental income, or a private workspace-an increasingly valuable feature in today’s market. Recent improvements such as newer windows throughout, new roof, and updated James Hardie fiber cement siding add to the home’s long-term value and peace of mind. Ideally situated in central Albany, the home is just minutes from well-regarded schools in the nation, Solano Avenue dining and boutiques, as well as everyday conveniences like Costco and 99 Ranch. Enjoy quick access to parks, BART, and major freeways, making commuting to San Francisco and the East Bay both easy and efficient.
