Some homes stand out because of their setting, and this is one of them. This 2020-built home sits on a rare .28 acre lot in Albany's desirable Pheasant Run subdivision, nearly double most homesites nearby, bordering protected green space and overlooking an oak woodland across Crocker Road for a rare sense of openness and privacy. The natural landscape beyond creates a backdrop of trees instead of rooftops, making it easy to forget you're minutes from shopping, dining, and everything North Albany offers.Nature is part of everyday life here. Deer are frequent visitors, an occasional fox wanders through, and the changing seasons bring new beauty year round. In winter, a seasonal creek flows through the adjoining green space, providing the soothing sound of running water from the patio or an open bedroom window.The covered backyard patio, with its territorial views, is an inviting place for a quiet morning, gathering with friends, or simply taking in the landscape. Two nearby parks and walkable streets make it easy to enjoy the outdoors without venturing far from home.Inside, this 1-owner home is exceptionally well cared for, offering 2200 square feet built for daily comfort and easy entertaining. A gas fireplace anchors the open living area, flowing into a dreamy kitchen and dining space warmed by central air and gas heat. A flexible downstairs den works as an office, playroom, or guest retreat, while upstairs, four bedrooms include a gorgeous primary suite with a true ensuite bath and a convenient laundry room. The three-car garage offers room for vehicles, hobbies, and workshop projects, and the flexible floor plan leaves space for family and overnight guests.Homes that combine this level of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience are increasingly rare, an opportunity to enjoy a setting that feels removed from the pace of the city while remaining close to everything that makes Albany such a wonderful place to call home.
