1427 Bay St.

With an attractive floor plan spread over multiple levels, the home offers plenty of room for personal privacy, yet many spaces to gather and/or entertain. The front door opens to the charming older section of the home’s first floor, including a bedroom on the right and the formal living room and adjoining dining room straight ahead, all with ten-foot ceilings and vintage oak floors. The living and dining rooms have dramatic tray ceilings with stylish new light fixtures, and the living room features a wall of built-in shelving for an entertainment center or library. The kitchen is situated behind the living and dining rooms, and has been updated with stone counters and refreshed cabinets.

The bright, sun-filled front bedroom has a large picture window with views of the front garden, making a wonderful space for guests, a family room or home office. Two additional, well-sized bedrooms are situated behind the kitchen, off a dedicated hallway leading to the back of the home. Both bedrooms have oak floors, dual-pane windows and generous closets. A full bathroom is adjacent to the kitchen, providing easy access from the bedrooms. An expansive primary bedroom/bathroom addition was built in 2018 (700 square feet), and is a genuine retreat that encompasses the entire second floor. This beautiful, private suite features a large bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious bathroom. Details include cathedral ceilings and skylights, and the bathroom offers a soaking tub, oversized shower, dual vanity and marble finishes.

The finished lower level provides flexible bonus space for a family room and/or a home office, and plenty of room for entertaining with direct access to an outdoor covered patio and low-maintenance backyard with two storage sheds. A full bathroom is conveniently located on this level in addition to a laundry room and an attached one-car garage.

1427 Bay Street is located only 1/2 block to the ACTransit O bus to BART and SF’s Sales Force transportation hub and just minutes to both downtown Park St and Webster St amenities. Many thoughtful updates, remodels and owner improvements make this a truly exceptional Alameda home!
