A formal foyer welcomes visitors with beautiful Craftsman ornamentation, including a vintage stained glass window, picture rail, wainscoting and a tall coved ceiling. An impressive living room on the right shares many of these lovely features in addition to a vintage oak floor bordered with inlaid rosewood, a tray ceiling, and the original Craftsman fireplace surrounded by built-in bookcases. Pony walls separate the living and dining rooms, a gracious room that features a rosewood-bordered oak floor, an elegant built-in Craftsman hutch/sideboard, tall wainscoting topped with plate rails, bay windows, and a handsome coffered ceiling.
The large, eat-in kitchen is situated at the back of the home behind the dining room, and is more than spacious enough for a new owner to design a custom kitchen tailored to their specific wants and needs. The present kitchen has a 9-foot ceiling, a hardwood floor, a built-in desk, and plenty of windows that provide abundant natural light, and offer a view of the tall, gorgeous lemon tree in the backyard.
The home’s two bedrooms are located to the left of the kitchen and dining room, and separated by a full bathroom. Both bedrooms are generously-sized and offer hardwood floors, closets with built-in shelving, 9-foot coved ceilings and picture rails. Fortunately, care has obviously been taken to preserve these lovely Craftsman decorative details for nearly one hundred years.
Situated in a lovely residential neighborhood close to the College of Alameda, Alameda Landing and the South Shore Center, Alameda Point and the Webster/Posey Tube, the location is also convenient to BART, AC Transit transbay buses, and the SF Ferry. This well-loved home, full of vintage appeal, is looking for new owners who will appreciate her many charms, and who will continue to make memories in this sweet home for many years to come!
