About this home
Original Since 1926 To all you lovers of a project: you’re in luck. 736 Key Route Boulevard has been preserved almost entirely in its original condition, and it’s ready for new owners who will keep preserving it - or re-envision it. It does need quite a bit of work. This charming one-bedroom has its original kitchen, beautiful hardwood floors, and period light fixtures, a few of which we believe still hold bulbs that have been burning since 1926. Lovers of vintage character will find a lot to work with here: the original details, the beautiful floor tiles in the bathroom - or the light that comes through the many windows. Anyone with bigger plans will notice the 3,800 sq ft lot, which offers real flexibility to expand, add an ADU, or reimagine the property entirely. Out back, the yard is full of fruit trees: a Red Delicious apple, quince, plum, orange, and two varieties of fig, plus an olive tree that produces olives when it feels like it. The house is a block and a half from Solano Avenue’s cafés and shops, really the location doesn't get much more convenient.

San Gabriel Triangle, located between San Pablo Avenue and the Union Pacific rail corridor, is a compact and residential Albany neighborhood with mid-century bungalows and a small-scale, walkable street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the San Pablo Avenue corridor near Solano Avenue, where taquerias, independent cafes, and long-running local storefronts set a steady, everyday rhythm. Homes sit on tidy lots with mature street trees, and the flat terrain supports bike-first errands. A short hop north, Solano Avenue’s independent spine adds bookstores, bakeries, and casual dining to the routine. Albany Bulb and the Bay Trail frame the western edge with wind, water, and wide-open views. Community touchstones include the Solano Avenue Stroll, the Albany Twin theater, and the Albany Bulb’s outdoor art.
