The formal living and dining room are filled with original features, including picture rails, newly refinished vintage oak floors, and tall, double-hung windows with lovely period decorative trim. The bright, sunny kitchen is very generously sized, and has recently been updated with quartz counters, refaced cabinets, new stylish light fixtures and a ceramic tile floor. A sunlit room attached to the kitchen may once have been maid quarters or a pantry, and now makes a perfect home office, workroom or studio.
The home’s bedrooms are all on the main level, two of which are connected by an updated full bathroom with white subway tiles and a clawfoot tub. Both are more than spacious enough to be used as a primary bedroom, and have high ceilings, picture rails, oak floors and oversized windows for plenty of natural light. A third bedroom on this level is also well sized, and sits next to an attractive, updated bathroom with a walk-in shower. The lower, garden level “basement” bonus space includes the finished rumpus room, a half bath, laundry space, and loads of storage capacity.
The expansive backyard offers a wonderful outdoor space for entertaining or simply relaxing, and includes a private spa, lawn, and mature and refreshed landscaping. In addition, the oversized lot provides many attractive possibilities, including the potential for expanding the home’s square footage or building an ADU.
Located only two blocks to downtown Park St amenities, around the corner to Chochenyo Park and close to SF Transbay and BART bus stops, this desirable East End location also provides convenient access to the SF Ferry for a pleasant commute to San Francisco. With easy access to top schools, Lincoln Park/pool, and the Alameda shoreline and beach, this special piece of Alameda history offers an exceptional home ownership opportunity!
