Property Description

This exclusive listing of 1266 Washington Avenue in Albany, CA presents the opportunity to acquire a well-located home in one of Albany’s most sought-after neighborhoods, with a top school district and superior schools.

The property is just a six-minute walk to Albany High School, a ten-minute walk to Albany Middle School, and a short twenty-minute walk or four-minute drive to Ocean View Elementary.
