About This Home

As of June 2025

Built in 1959 next to one of Alameda's scenic lagoons, this single-level, waterside home has recently undergone extensive updates and features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a spacious living room, an open dining room/kitchen combination, and gorgeous panoramic views of the lagoon. Located on a cul-de-sac in Alameda's desirable Bronze Coast neighborhood, the house sits at the end of a long, deep driveway, providing a location with exceptional privacy and seclusion. Featuring a flexible Mid-Century flexible floor plan, details include vaulted beamed ceilings, new engineered white oak floors, a dramatic brick fireplace, and a kitchen/dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the lagoon. Updates include 2 newly remodeled bathrooms, fresh paint inside/outside, new light fixtures and refreshed landscaping. A spacious deck off the dining + living rooms offers an exceptional indoor/outdoor lifestyle & provides direct access to the water for kayaking and other water activities. This sought-after location is just 2 blocks from Park St, 1/2 mile to Trader Joe's + South Shore Center amenities, and only minutes to Alameda Beach and the SF Ferry. This lovely, updated home provides a rare Alameda waterside home ownership opportunity in a convenient, central location. Don't miss!
