902 Carmel is a lovely split-level McGregor house built in 1924. The property was originally constructed as a 5-bedroom dwelling. It was later converted from residential to commercial use as Mountain Travel, a travel agency that also had the adjoining property, which faces Solano Ave. Its most recent commercial use was as 8 separate therapy offices. It has a full bathroom on the second floor and a half bathroom on the ground floor. The current owners have recently made the following updates and improvements to the property: New roof, 2025 Refinished and installed hardwood floors, 2025 Upgraded wifi (Sonic) for commercial use, 2026 New main electrical panel, 2026 Remodeled full bathroom, 2026 The property has an office kitchenette, but the full kitchen was removed during the conversion to commercial. The owners have approval from Albany’s planning department to reinstall a full kitchen, add a bathroom, and convert the property from commercial to residential use. Completing this process to receive the building permit will involve installing sprinklers in the ceilings and taking out the driveway curb cut (as the garage had been converted to an office). The owners opted to retain the property’s commercial character. The property is available for sale ($1.3M) or for lease (triple net, $8k/month). Conventional residential financing would not work for this transaction. Commercial, cash, or hard money only.

Transparent Price! Offers As Presented! Warm and light-filled, this classic Albany Victorian is rich with character, beautifully balancing original details with thoughtful updates. Recently remodeled with permits, it honors the home’s history while bringing a fresh, modern sensibility. The gracious front room is anchored by a gas fireplace—an inviting place to curl up on a cool evening. Two bedrooms and a full bath are conveniently located on the main level. The updated kitchen overlooks the peaceful garden, creating a wonderful connection between indoors and out, bringing nature and natural light into the heart of the home. Upstairs, a private third bedroom and full bath are complemented by a versatile bonus space, ideal for a home office, reading nook, or creative retreat. The floor plan creates a wonderful sense of separation, with spaces that allow for both gathering and finding a quiet place of your own. The private backyard is a true garden oasis. Mature landscaping creates a beautiful, peaceful setting for dining, gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon outdoors. A huge bonus is the expansive garage beneath the house, extending the full footprint of the home. With plumbing and electrical already in place, there’s abundant room for storage, projects, and tinkering—it’s a maker’s dream with endless possibilities. The location is equally stellar. Just one block from Solano Avenue, favorite neighborhood restaurants, cafés, shops, and everyday conveniences are close at hand.
