About This Home

As of November 2020

This delightful Craftsman shows off beautifully painted architectural details, attractive landscaping and stained glass windows on a corner lot in Central Alameda. A brick paver walkway leads to a welcoming porch accented by stately columns. Inside is a pleasing palette of cream and tan walls, built-ins and trim work flowing through the living and dining rooms. Multi-paned clear and stain glass windows light up the white brick fireplace and gorgeous hardwood floors accented with dark inlaid borders. The spectacular dining room has coffered ceilings and built-ins with leaded glass panels in green and bronze. An updated chef’s kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a sunny corner dining nook. Bedrooms have hardwood floors and remodeled bathrooms feature heated floors. Out back is a deck overlooking a gorgeous private patio with brick pavers and attractive landscaping. The detached garage is embellished with architectural elements and includes a separate work shop.
