Inside, a world of beautiful early 20th century details awaits! A formal entrance hall features a handsome staircase on the left that winds up to the upstairs bedrooms and bathroom, while the elegant living room, dining room, and open kitchen are on the right. The sun-filled living room has picture windows with a view of the pretty front garden, crown moulding, antique stained glass windows, wainscot paneling, a shelved alcove, a striking brick and stone fireplace, and a handsome oak floor with a rosewood inlay that continues into the dining room. The elegant dining room is through a wide, arched doorway and decorated with picture rails and a magnificent, built-in Craftsman sideboard/china cabinet that takes an entire wall and features inverted pillars, a mirror, and numerous, deep drawers and cabinets for plenty of storage.
The dining room is open to a kitchen that is sure to please even the most discerning cook! Separated from the dining room by a wide breakfast bar, the kitchen offers gray quartz counters beneath white, Shaker-style cabinets, and a sophisticated glass tile mosaic backsplash. Stainless steel KitchenAid and Thermador Professional appliances are top-of-the-line, and a full laundry room, pantry, and half bath are located behind the kitchen for ease and convenience.
Upstairs, the home’s three bedrooms each have their own unique style and character. A well-sized bedroom with a coved ceiling has a lovely view of the beautiful Victorian homes across the street, and a second bedroom includes a “plus” room, just the right size for a home office, sunroom, library, or nursery, with a beautiful, unobstructed view of Alameda every sunset. All three bedrooms have rich-looking Douglas fir floors, vintage five-panel doors, and dual-pane windows with vintage trim.
The backyard deck gets plenty of sunlight during the day, offering a tranquil place for a morning cup of coffee. The fairy lighting over the deck is bright and beautiful at night and a great backdrop for entertaining. The detached garage features a workshop and loads of additional storage options.
Full of beautiful Craftsman details, this lovely home is located only a few blocks from a large park with mature, stately trees, running/cycling trails, playgrounds, picnic tables, and endless space to be alone in nature. Close to both Webster and Park streets, and offering easy access to many convenient commuting options, 1727 Bay Street is truly exceptional!
