An inviting front porch provides the perfect setting for morning coffee and summer meals. Walk through the front door into a warm and comfortable living/dining room. Nine-foot ceilings provide a feeling of space, and period window and door moldings add an air of sophistication.
The bright and airy eat-in kitchen was remodeled earlier this year, with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash and shaker-style cabinetry featuring soft-close drawers and doors. Skylights and two large windows flood the space with light.
A large full bathroom with tile floors and countertop includes a linen closet, as well as a laundry closet with full-sized, stacked washer and dryer. This is also where you’ll find access to the attic, via an oversized hatch and telescoping ladder. The attic has a plywood floor, lighting, and provides ample storage.
The two bedrooms and hallway boast hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings. Updated double-hung Marvin wood windows and exterior sliding glass door are double-paned for quiet and energy-efficiency. The windows tilt out for easy cleaning. The large master bedroom features a generous closet, sitting area, and working wood-burning fireplace with artisan-designed maple and beeswing Makore mantle. A large picture window looks out onto a lush backyard that’s a gardener’s or lawn game enthusiast’s paradise.
The home’s roof and skylights were replaced in 2019, and solar panels provide sustainable energy. The foundation is in good condition with earthquake-ready anchor bolts and shear walls.
Large by Alameda standards, the grassy backyard is lined with vegetable and flower gardens and spotted with prolific fruit trees. It also hosts a 318 SF structure which could be renovated as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), perfect for parents, renters, or an au pair. Both the front and back yards are watered with irrigation systems.
This family-friendly street is zoned for the desirable Edison Elementary School and is just six blocks from the beach. And the ACTransit OX bus stop, tech shuttles and casual carpool pick-up are just three blocks away. This is a truly wonderful home in a fantastic neighborhood.
