About This Home
As of August 2024Built in 1925 on the corner of Union St and Pacific Ave in a leafy Central Alameda neighborhood just minutes to Park St boutiques, restaurants and cafes, this picturesque Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow offers charm and curb appeal to spare! Located on a block filled with lovely homes from the same era, this cozy vintage home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, an open living room/dining room combination, a large kitchen and an attached garage. Abundant natural light throughout highlights the many vintage/original features, including matchstick oak floors, a tray ceiling (living room), a fireplace, and a built-in dining room sideboard china cabinet. Recent updates include newer central heating (2017), dual-pane windows, fresh interior paint, and new light fixtures throughout. The large backyard patio is perfect for entertaining, while the garden's 11 mature camellia bushes provide a backdrop of gorgeous color for many months each year. This fabulous central Alameda location is 2 blocks to AC Transit buses, and just minutes to Nob Hill Foods, Alameda Landing shopping, parks, Jean Sweeney Open Space Park, and convenient to off-island freeway access. Delightful, both inside and out!
