Updated Ballena Bay HOA Condo Near Yacht Club + Marina

LISTED AT $795,000

Wake up to the tranquil sights and sounds of Ballena Bay, Ballena Isle Marina and the San Francisco Bay from this sophisticated condo at the water’s edge! This recently updated, tri-level home offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open living room/dining room combination, an attractive kitchen, laundry room and a spacious, airy loft (300 square feet). One of the few condos in the complex just steps to the water and shoreline paths, this fabulous location is just minutes to downtown Webster St, Washington Park and Crown Memorial Beach and shoreline trails.

Built in 1971 in an architecturally innovative style that includes plenty of open spaces, bright sunlight, high ceilings and dramatic angles, this timeless home design still appeals as much today as it did more than fifty years ago. The spacious main level is filled with plenty of natural light, and features a recently updated kitchen and an open living/dining room with a 14-foot vaulted ceiling, a gas fireplace, new carpeting, and sliding doors that open to a balcony with marina views. A spacious loft above the main floor is open to the floor below, yet still offers privacy. This large, comfortable space features a skylight and a refinished hardwood floor, and is perfect for guests, a family/media room or a home office for working remotely. The home’s bedrooms are situated on the lower level, and the primary bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom and a walk-in closet large enough for more than one wardrobe. A second well-sized bedroom has ample closet storage, and is conveniently located next to a full hallway bathroom. Both bedrooms feature new carpeting and sliding doors that open to a private outdoor patio providing a serene place to enjoy the sounds of the water and the gulls over the marina. Ballena Bay HOA amenities include a secure parking garage with two reserved spaces (an EV charger is permissible) and a large swimming pool. With a location close to the many amenities at the South Shore Center, Spirits Alley and Alameda Landing, plus easy access to freeways and the San Francisco Ferry, this move-in-ready home is a rare Alameda opportunity!
