The interior is as appealing as the exterior, complemented by modern updates thoughtfully paired with vintage features. The open living/dining room is filled with plenty of bright, natural light through dual-pane windows, and features a refinished vintage oak floor, picture rails, recessed lights and a built-in dining room bookcase. The expansive eat-in kitchen sits behind the dining room, and includes views of the backyard deck and garden and a large breakfast nook. Recently updated, the kitchen has a beautiful oak floor, quartz counters, a Miele dishwasher and refaced kitchen cabinets. A large laundry/mud room is next to the kitchen, and has a door leading to a raised deck that provides the perfect outdoor space to entertain, play, have meals al fresco or simply relax.
Like most vintage Craftsman homes, the bedrooms and bathroom are situated on a dedicated hallway adjacent to the living room. Both sunlit bedrooms are well sized and feature vintage hardwood floors, picture rails, stylish light fixtures and Hunter Douglas smart shades on dual-pane windows. The updated bathroom has retained its vintage feel with a fun hex-tile floor, tub/shower combination and a vanity with a creamy quartz countertop.
A special feature of this home is the additional detached bonus space at the rear of the property that has ADU, home office, family room or rec room potential. Originally an oversized double garage measuring 600 square feet, the divided space now includes two distinct rooms. The larger of the two finished rooms includes an epoxy floor, track lighting, a vaulted ceiling and a sliding barn door that separates this versatile space from the workshop next door. A storage container sits next to the garage, providing even more bonus space.
2611 Lincoln Ave offers the opportunity to own a beautifully landscaped, vintage Craftsman home that includes exceptional bonus space, all on a large lot in a highly desirable East End neighborhood. Close to highly ranked schools, parks and downtown Park St, the location also provides easy access to Nob Hill Foods, Encinal Market, I-880, BART and the SF Ferry. This move-in-ready home represents the very best of Alameda!
