2431 Roosevelt Dr.

“Inside, a world of fanciful storybook details is evident everywhere throughout the home, beginning with the stunning living room. Features include a dramatic double-height, wood-beamed barrel ceiling, a prominent slate fireplace within an inglenook, wood flooring, built-in bookcases, and an oversized leaded-glass picture window offering views of the pretty front garden. The dining room, adjacent to the living room, also includes a wood-plank and beam ceiling and wood floor, plus a vintage English-style door that opens to a charming china cupboard. The sunny kitchen has been updated with white quartz counters beneath a white subway tile backsplash, and is open to a breakfast room with playful kitchen shelving above a built-in corner cupboard. The spacious pantry/laundry/mudroom off the kitchen includes a half bathroom, and offers many flexible possibilities. A whimsical staircase between the living and dining rooms winds its way upstairs to the home’s bedrooms and full bathroom. Both bedrooms are generously sized, and feature wood floors and abundant natural light. An updated hallway bathroom includes a black and white hex tile floor, a tub, and a shower with an attractive hexagonal tile surround. A turret with a window provides yet another fanciful architectural element and comes complete with an original settee built into the wall. The loft above the detached garage offers endless possibilities, including a studio, a teen or guest suite, a family room, or a sun-filled home office large enough for more than one person. This attractive, flexible bonus space has a wood floor, cathedral ceiling, a full ensuite bathroom, storage closets and a bank of windows with backyard views. The spacious backyard has been completely fenced for privacy, ideal for entertaining with a large paver patio, and even an envy-inducing hot tub spa! 2341 Roosevelt Dr simply radiates timeless charm from the many winsome details inside to the fairytale-like exterior, to the sweet garden and gated picket fence. Close to highly-ranked schools, the shoreline, parks, and convenient shopping, this home is an Alameda treasure!”
