Filled with loads of natural light and charm, this lovely home’s interior offers something for every vintage home lover. The living and dining rooms have retained many original features, including plaster walls, recently refinished oak floors bordered with inlaid rosewood trim, picture windows, a built-in corner china cabinet in the dining room and a dramatic Spanish-style fireplace in the living room. In contrast, the spacious kitchen is firmly in the 21st century with recent updates that include newly refaced cabinets, sophisticated quartz counters beneath a limestone tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances and stylish new light fixtures.
Like most homes from this era, the bedrooms and bathroom are situated on a dedicated hallway adjacent to the more public rooms.The primary bedroom sits at the back of the home for privacy, and features a handsome oak floor, a walk-in closet with organizers, and multiple windows for abundant natural light. Another large bedroom connects to the front foyer, and has a cedar-lined closet and hardwood floor. The third bedroom is located between the others, with easy access to the attractively updated hallway bathroom.
An expansive, garden level provides additional living areas, storage capacity and a potential opportunity for square footage expansion. Currently configured as a laundry room with an adjacent partial bath, rec room and exercise room, there is expansion potential for a family room and full bath. The pretty backyard offers plenty of room in which to relax, play or entertain, and includes fruit trees, an attractive garden shed – even a tree house!
1914 Pacific Ave offers a move-in-ready home in a desirable central location close to schools, shopping and easy on/off island bridges. With convenient access to freeways, BART, ACTransit and the SF Ferry, this home is an Alameda vintage treasure.
