3031 Fernside Blvd

Pride of ownership is evident everywhere as soon as one crosses the threshold of this lovely home. A traditional living room maintains the recently refinished original oak floor that continues into the dining room. A simple brick fireplace has an elegant white mantle, and the room is flooded with bright sunlight through oversized corner windows. A wide, arched doorway leads to a dining room with a stylish new wrought iron pendant lamp that mirrors the original wrought iron railings leading upstairs from the dining room. The once formal dining room is now completely open to the kitchen, allowing in natural light from the kitchen as well as the dining room’s windows. And the kitchen is stunning! Completely remodeled in 2020, this bright, airy room features timeless materials and plenty of dark Shaker-style cabinets complemented by glossy white metro tiles on the walls, creamy quartz counters, an oversized brushed steel farmhouse sink, and high-end Thermador and LG appliances. This thoughtfully designed, elegant kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, and a joy for anyone who enjoys being in the kitchen. The upper split level features two well-sized bedrooms with oak floors, new light fixtures, crown moulding accents, and views of the pretty backyard. A remodeled bathroom sits between the bedrooms, and has backyard views, a simple yet handsome vanity, and a Kohler soaking tub/shower with a surround of Carrara marble herringbone tiles. The home’s third bedroom and second full bathroom are on the ground level, easily accessible from the kitchen as well as a bedroom door to the rear garden. The level-in bedroom is next to an updated bathroom, across a landing from what was once the garage and is now a spacious bonus room. Plenty of windows, custom redwood doors, and sliding glass doors to the backyard provide many versatile options for this bright, sunlit room.

Sliding doors will come in handy for taking full advantage of the beautiful, recently re-imagined backyard! A wall of spectacular morning glories provides a backdrop for this tranquil yard with a fruit-bearing apple tree, a lawn, professionally designed paver walkways and patios, a firepit seating area, a built-in gas grill and an attractive storage shed.

3031 Fernside Blvd provides the opportunity to acquire a well-loved home, one that’s been brought into the 21st century with impeccable taste and respect for the original home’s aesthetics. Located in a sought-after neighborhood close to top schools, shopping, and easy access to parks, downtown Park Street amenities and Alameda’s three bridges, this home is exceptional.
