About This Home
As of June 2026Step into a home where classic Alameda character meets the peace of mind of a true top-to-bottom renovation. Built in 1925, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers 1,874 square feet that have been lovingly updated with a level of attention to detail that's rare to find. Original elegance shines through in the crown molding and decorative trim that runs throughout, while every major system has been brought into the modern era. Inside, the layout offers wonderful room to live and gather, with both a welcoming living room and a spacious great room. A massive flex room opens up endless possibilities. Make it a third bedroom, a home office, a playroom, a studio, or whatever suits the way you live. And for a touch of true delight, an oversized storage room hides one of its entrances behind a secret bookshelf, offering a sense of discovery and possibility you simply won't find anywhere else. The beautifully remodeled kitchen is a true centerpiece, anchored by a large island/peninsula that's perfect for gathering, prep, and casual dining, and outfitted with professional-grade appliances that make cooking a pleasure. The spa-like remodeled baths carry the same elevated finish throughout, blending style and function for everyday living and easy entertaining. Step outside to enjoy a beautifully landscaped front yard with wonderful curb appeal, while the low-maintenance hardscaped backyard offers an effortless space to relax and entertain without the upkeep. Behind the beauty is serious substance: a new roof installed in 2025, updated 200-amp electrical, updated double-pane windows, and a fully updated sewer line. The home has been seismically strengthened with extensive foundation replacement and substructural reinforcement, an investment few sellers ever make, and one that delivers lasting confidence. Enjoy great parking with access via a custom electric gate, plus EV wiring already in place for the modern household. Centrally located in East Alameda, the home places you near well-regarded local schools, shopping, easy freeway access, and excellent public transportation, everything you need close at hand. This is a home that honors its history while leaving nothing for the next owner to worry about. Move in and simply enjoy.
