About This Home

As of June 2021

Surrounded by a picturesque picket fence on a corner in Alameda’s coveted Fernside neighborhood, 2615 Buena Vista is an elegant 5+BD/4BA Queen Anne Victorian with a formal dining room, extraordinary modern chef’s kitchen (with skylight!), 3 bedrooms on one level, a finished basement apartment with guest suite, huge finished attic, and lush back garden with multiple seating areas, an elaborate play structure, and 4-6 person hot tub. The best of both worlds, the home retains a nod to the Victorian era with its red oak floors with decorative inlay, picture rails, pocket doors, and intricate ceiling medallions, while the state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen and stylishly updated baths offer modern convenience and comfort. Moments from top-performing Edison Elementary, locally owned Dan’s Produce, Alameda Marketplace and other Park Street amenities, as well as the best of Alameda’s parks and beaches, the home is also convenient to the SF ferry, BART and AC Transit bus lines.
