About This Home

As of March 2026

Opportunities like this are few and far between! 196 Crest Avenue offers almost 1 acre in one of Alamo’s most desirable locations—perfect for an urban farm or private multi-home compound Properties with this of size, setting, and flexibility are increasingly rare in the area. The main residence features 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, with a flexible layout ideal for modern living. An attached pool/guest suite with a private bath and a detached bedroom with exterior access add even more versatility. Outdoor spaces are equally impressive, with mature trees, a sparkling pool, and an expansive yard that backs to the Iron Horse Trail—offering potential direct access to one of the East Bay’s most beloved recreational pathways. Located just minutes from top-rated schools, downtown Alamo, and major commuter routes—yet tucked away in a serene, private setting—this property is ready for the next visionary owner to bring something truly special to life.
