906 Del Mar Ave.

The home’s sweet vintage curb appeal begins with a covered front sitting porch, wrought-iron railings, window shutters, and a delightful exterior color palette reminiscent of the French Quarter in New Orleans. Inside, a traditional living room has a stunning Spanish-style plaster fireplace, many windows for bright, natural light, and a beautiful wide-plank oak floor that continues into the large, formal dining room. A wide arched opening connects the living and dining rooms, which is also filled with bright sunlight. The updated, eat-in kitchen is situated behind the dining room, and features granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a porcelain farmhouse sink, tile backsplash and a breakfast nook with built-in seating.

A split level staircase with a handsome pair of wrought-iron railings is situated through an arched opening off the dining room, and leads upstairs to the bedrooms, bathroom, and open hallway landing. Both bedrooms are very generously sized with hardwood floors, and one of the bedrooms includes an enclosed sun porch with a wall of windows that overlook the fenced backyard and patio. The updated hallway bathroom separates the two bedrooms, and features a marble-topped vanity, black and white hex-tile flooring, and a tub/shower combination with a white subway tile surround.

The home’s spacious finished lower level bonus room has many flexible uses and is conveniently accessed from the kitchen. The area includes a half bathroom, attached garage, and offers direct access to the backyard with a new patio (2024) and attractive storage shed.

906 Del Mar Ave is a charming hidden gem offering easy access to the SF Ferry to San Francisco, and Oakland Airport is just minutes away. The home is also very convenient to the many amenities at South Shore Center and Downtown Park St, and close to Alameda Beach and Otis Elementary/Lincoln Middle/Alameda High schools. A treasure!
