Turn-Key Craftsman Cottage on Private Street Near Downtown Park Street

LISTED AT $849,000

Tucked away between Lincoln and Pacific avenues, Lea Court is a charming one block street lined with bungalows built in 1925. Located just two blocks to the heart of Park Street’s many amenities, this charming home features two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living/family room, a dining room open to an updated kitchen, and a laundry/mud space. Lea Court homes rarely come to market, and are prized by lovers of Craftsman design and Alameda history. 1611 Lea Ct has picture-perfect appeal, painted bright white and accented with a sloping roofline and a gray front door. Pomegranate and citrus trees grow on either side of the front stairs, joined by raised redwood planters growing colorful flowers and vegetables.

Inside, retained vintage details blend seamlessly with 21st century upgrades and amenities. Vintage/original features in the living/family room include a handsome oak floor, picture rails, crown moulding, and built-in bookcases on either side of a picturesque fireplace with a stone surround and hearth. The dining room has tall wainscoting, picture rails, crown moulding and an oak floor, and both rooms feature new pendant light fixtures and dual-pane windows for plenty of bright, natural light. A breakfast bar separates the kitchen from the dining room, creating an open kitchen tastefully remodeled with contemporary, yet timeless, materials and finishes. Sophisticated gray quartz counters are offset with stainless steel appliances, white kitchen cabinets and a white tile metro-style backsplash. Laundry is conveniently situated behind the kitchen, next to a back door that provides access to a wrap-around redwood deck.

The home’s primary bedroom is located on an upper split level that faces the front of the house. Well-sized and sunny, the room has an oak floor, picture rails and multiple exposures with dual-pane windows. The home’s second bedroom was once an attached garage, now cleverly repurposed into a large, usable bedroom, family room or home office. Located a few steps down from the kitchen, the room has radiant heating under attractive and durable laminate flooring, and ample natural light through dual-pane windows that offer views of the flowers in the front garden planter boxes and its own separate entrance. The bathroom is on the main level, and has been thoughtfully updated/remodeled in keeping with the age and aesthetics of the original home.

Lea Court is a hidden Alameda treasure, and 1611 Lea Court is a sparkling jewel. Just blocks to Market Place, Dan’s Fresh Produce, fabulous coffee shops, restaurants and everything Park Street has to offer, this special home offers charm, style and location for a very fortunate new owner.
