2900 Johnson Avenue

Built in 1927 toward the end of Craftsman architectural popularity and the growing adaptation of Art Deco style, the home’s classic Art Deco exterior belies the interior’s more traditional Craftsman floor plan and features. The formal living and dining rooms are filled with natural light, the better to appreciate the original matchstick oak floors, tray ceilings and crown moulding that adorn both rooms. The living room has a wonderfully stylized fireplace, while a series of windows provide views of the pretty front garden and Victorian and vintage homes across the street. The updated kitchen sits behind the dining room, and has granite counters, plenty of Shaker-style cabinets and a breakfast nook with sliding doors that open to a wood deck, a weathered brick patio, and the detached garage in the lush, green backyard.

The home’s bedrooms are situated off a dedicated hallway to the right of the kitchen and the formal rooms. Both bedrooms are well sized, and have the vintage matchstick oak floors, new light fixtures and dual-pane windows. The bathroom sits between the bedrooms, and has been updated with a new vanity, an attractive hex-tile floor, and a tub/shower combination with a brilliant white polished ceramic subway tile surround.

Tucked into a charming street only two blocks long, 2900 Johnson Ave has everything that makes Alameda such a desirable place to live. Close to highly regarded schools, Lincoln Park, Encinal Market, Nob Hill Foods, downtown Park St, BART and freeways, this move-in-ready home is a true Alameda treasure!
