Inside, charming original details are everywhere and include arched, gothic-style doorways between rooms, and colorful Spanish tiles on stair risers that complement the wrought iron railings. The living room has a striking Spanish-style fireplace, a monumental arched picture window overlooking the front garden, and a beautiful oak floor that continues into the dining room. A well-sized main floor bedroom sits to the right of the entrance hall, and features an oak floor, crown moulding, and plenty of natural light. A full bathroom is conveniently located next to the bedroom and has been recently updated with a fabulous decorative tile floor and a vanity topped with Carrara marble.
The kitchen is situated behind the dining room and has been remodeled to please even the most accomplished cook! This enticing room with views to the backyard features plenty of cabinets for ample kitchen storage, a hardwood floor, flawless quartz counters, a sophisticated polished stone mosaic backsplash, instant hot water, and high-end Wolff, Bosch and JennAir stainless steel appliances. The adjoining large, light-filled family room is bridged by the kitchen bar with room for four bar stools. The expansive backyard features mature landscaping, pergolas, paver patios, a lawn with an automatic sprinkler system, and vegetable garden beds. Completely fenced and gated, the backyard provides the perfect space to entertain, relax, and play while taking advantage of Alameda’s beautiful weather.
The home’s remaining bedrooms are upstairs and include a well-sized bedroom off the stairway landing and two additional bedrooms on the top level that are part of a second story addition to the original home. The luxurious primary bedroom suite features a ten-foot ceiling, a walk-in closet with custom built-in organizers, and a remodeled ensuite bathroom including a jetted tub/shower and attractive, contemporary tiles. A sunny second bedroom next to the primary bedroom is perfect for a home office or a nursery, and a hallway dressing room has the potential to be converted back into a half bath.
