Bronze Coast Craftsman Bungalow Near Lagoon, South Shore Center + Park Street

LISTED AT $895,000

Built in 1917, this move-in-ready Craftsman home offers a desirable Bronze Coast location and vintage charm to spare! Situated on a non-thoroughfare street next to Alameda’s iconic Lagoons, the home offers two bedrooms, one bathroom, spacious living and dining rooms, an eat-in kitchen and a detached workshop. Extremely popular in the early 1900s, Craftsman homes are treasured today for their artistic style and functional design. This wonderful example of Craftsman architecture features classic Craftsman ornamentation and gabled rooflines with deep overhanging eaves supported by decorative brackets. Wide steps lead to a covered front porch with graceful, decorative arches and pediments.

Inside, the spacious living room is a vintage home-lover’s dream with a handsome oak floor, a nine-foot ceiling finished with crown molding, and a beautiful Craftsman brick and stone fireplace with built-in bookcases on either side, while a wide picture window offers a view of the lagoon and picturesque street. The sunny formal dining room overlooks the front porch and garden, and features an oak floor, crown moulding, and a lovely pair of vintage stained glass transom windows depicting the East Bay hills and the SF Bay. The large, eat-in kitchen/family room includes a breakfast bar, new quartz counters and a greenhouse window perfect for garden herbs. Sliding doors open to a new redwood deck and an expansive patio for intimate al fresco meals or entertaining family and friends. Both of the home’s well-sized bedrooms and updated bathroom are secluded toward the rear of the home, and have hardwood floors, generous closets and bright, natural light. The bathroom has a shower/tub combination, and a vanity with a quartz top. The original detached garage has been converted to a finished space for a workshop, home office or studio.

816 Oak Street provides a wonderful example of Alameda’s famed Craftsman architecture in a highly desirable Bronze Coast location. Just blocks from Trader Joe’s, Safeway and everything the South Shore Center has to offer, the neighborhood is close to Park Street’s many restaurants, and offers close proximity to the beach, SF shoreline trail and parks. Easy access to the SF Ferry, Oakland Airport, freeways, and the commuter buses on Otis Drive. Perfection!
