LISTED AT $1,295,000

Situated on a tree-lined street in the sought-after East End neighborhood, this 1907 brown shingle Craftsman has curb appeal, charm and a prime location! The two-level home is unusually spacious for a vintage Craftsman cottage (1,822 SF), and features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, formal living and dining rooms with original built-ins and windows, and a large, bright, beautifully remodeled kitchen/breakfast room. The exterior retains the cozy charm of a vintage Craftsman cottage, complemented by multiple roof lines, a curated mature garden and a wide front sitting porch. The interior is a blend of authentic early 20th century comfort with modernized kitchen, bathrooms and office.

The home’s vintage front door opens to a spacious living room filled with original, beautifully preserved Craftsman features. Details include Douglas fir window, door and crown moulding trim, a built-in window seat overlooking the front garden, and an impressive stone and brick fireplace that sits between built-in bookcases and a writing desk/cabinet combination. An oak floor with an inlaid mahogany border continues into the elegant dining room that features a box-beam ceiling, decorative plate rails, and a built-in sideboard/china cabinet, all in their vintage Craftsman condition. The kitchen, situated behind the dining room, has been transformed into a wonderful gathering space for friends and family. Remodeled in 2021, the oversized kitchen/breakfast room includes dramatic granite counters and abundant cherry wood cabinets above a backsplash of understated cream-colored subway tiles with artisanal tile inserts. A sliding door opens to a spacious backyard deck complete with built-in seating, perfect for an indoor/outdoor lifestyle.

The primary bedroom is located on the main level next to an attractively remodeled bathroom with a jetted tub. The generously-sized room has sliding doors that open to the backyard deck with views of fuchsia bougainvillea in the summer, flowering camellias in the spring, and majestic redwood trees all year long. A second main level bedroom/office is off the dining room, while two additional bedrooms are located on the second level and share a full bathroom. Both of these bright, sun-filled bedrooms are reminiscent of treehouse aeries with picturesque garden and rooftop views.

3242 Garfield Ave is a Craftsman home lover’s dream, offering authentic period character and thoughtful updates in keeping with the home’s historic aesthetic yet conducive to a 21st century lifestyle. Located just two blocks to the San Leandro Bay shoreline, the home is close to popular parks, Encinal Market, and top-ranked schools. This is a truly wonderful home in a highly sought-after Alameda neighborhood.
