Beautifully Updated Art Deco Bungalow Near McKinley Park + Park Street

LISTED AT $895,000

Built in 1925, this jewel of a home has been completely updated for turnkey perfection! Situated adjacent from McKinley Park on a block loaded with sweet vintage homes from the same era, this split-level Art Deco-style beauty features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, traditional living and dining rooms, a pretty, updated kitchen and an attached garage/flex space. With charm to spare, this home is a vintage Alameda treasure perfectly upgraded for a 21st century lifestyle.

The home’s facade incorporates many early Art Deco modernist design features, including a stepped outline along the roof edge and rectangular structural forms enhanced by curved ornamental elements. A striking, freshly painted exterior plus refreshed and new landscaping combine to give this home exceptional curb appeal.

Inside, preserved vintage details blend seamlessly with contemporary updates. The foyer has an arched opening that leads to a formal living room with a beautifully refinished oak floor that continues into the dining room and main floor bedroom. A tray ceiling, crown moulding, and the original fireplace grace this pretty room, while numerous dual-pane windows provide abundant natural light. The large, sunny dining room, designed for entertaining, is adorned with the same tray ceiling and crown moulding found in the living room. The recently updated kitchen, with custom colored cabinets and quartz and stainless steel finishes, sits behind the dining room and has sliding doors that open to a sweet deck for enjoying a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine.

The main floor bedroom includes a newer en-suite bathroom added in 2016, and features beadboard wainscoting and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. A second updated bathroom on this level includes a tub/shower combination. The home’s primary bedroom is well sized, and offers privacy with an upper level location. The attached garage has been transformed into a flexible bonus space that’s ideal for a home office, family room or playroom, and the entire interior has been painted in a stunning palette complemented by stylish new light fixtures.

From the whimsical facade to the elegant interior, 1720 Walnut St is a turnkey home that promises to delight all who pass through its doors! With a location offering easy access to Nob Hill Foods, parks, downtown Park St, BART and major freeways, this sweet home takes advantage of all that Alameda has to offer.
