Built in 1942 during Alameda's housing construction boom for employees of the US Navy's Alameda Works Shipyard, this move-in-ready, split-level cottage has been lovingly remodeled and updated by the present owners. Located in a tranquil, sought-after East End neighborhood just four blocks to Otis Elementary and Lincoln Middle schools, the home features two bedrooms, one full bathroom and one half bathroom, an open living room/dining room/kitchen combination, a sunny family room, home office and an attached garage/workshop.

The home's wonderful curb appeal continues inside with bright, sunlit rooms and an open floor plan that takes full advantage of every square foot of space. The main level includes the living room/dining room, a charming kitchen with 1940s accents and updated with contemporary appliances, and a family room with a full view of the exceptional backyard through an 8-foot slider door that opens to a raised deck. A garden level home office includes a half bathroom and a level-out backdoor leading to a travertine deck and garden. The home's two bedrooms and remodeled full bathroom are upstairs, and feature vintage oak floors, crown moulding, and abundant natural light through dual-pane windows.
