133 Mecartney Road

The original house still maintains its vintage cottage feel, but the present owners have made recent thoughtful updates that bring the house firmly into the 21st century. A handsome and durable laminate floor works beautifully with the character of the house, and extends throughout every room. The new, spacious kitchen has gray quartz counters complemented by white cabinets, a white subway tile backsplash, and Samsung stainless steel appliances. The ceiling has plenty of recessed lighting, and a wide skylight provides additional natural light. The kitchen is open to a spacious dining room with sliding doors that open to a large redwood deck– perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing. Two bedrooms and an updated bathroom are situated left of a living room that features a wood-burning fireplace.

The split-level addition is accessed through a connecting door in the kitchen, or through a separate front door. More contemporary in its architectural design yet stylistically compatible with the original home, amenities include 12-foot vaulted ceilings in the bedroom and family room, carpeting in the bedroom and laminate in the kitchen and family room. The bedroom has loads of natural light and a private second-storey balcony, and a complete galley kitchen sits next to the family room.

The home’s front and back yards are beautifully landscaped, and a detached garage offers plenty of storage space. This terrific Alameda location offers Bay Farm’s highly rated schools, and is close to Safeway, Corica Park public golf course, Godfrey Park and Oakland Airport. Easy access to the SF Ferry, AC Transit OX bus & freeways.

Pride of ownership is evident everywhere throughout this lovely home!
