412 Talbot Ave

Built 1939·Albany, CA 94706

Sold in May 1991 for $207,000 and never listed since — the longest-held of the Albany houses in this collection and the fifth-longest quiet stretch overall. The 1991 Prop 13 basis holds the 2026 assessment at $380,818, while Redfin’s July 2026 estimate sits near $1.0M. The county books also record a 1942 renovation, three years after the house was built.

House notes

  • Storybook front: half-timbered gable, a scalloped metal awning over a red paneled door, and an iron balconet above the garage
  • Near-twin of the gray house one lot north at 408 Talbot — the same 1.5-story plan with the upper floor over an under-house garage
  • Regents Park tract, Map #6 — the parcel is lot 25 plus part of lot 24 of block 32
  • County records date a renovation to 1942, three years after the house went up
  • The assessed value was cut to $180,000 through the mid-1990s downturn under Prop 8 and did not rejoin its Prop 13 track until 2001
  • A September 2010 quit-claim deed moved title without triggering reassessment — a trust or family transfer, not a sale
  • Zoned R-3 high-density residential; the neighboring lot at 416 holds a three-story apartment building
  • Never on the internet-era MLS — its entire market history is a single 1991 deed
