2 Beds • 1 Bath • 950 SF • 2952 SF Lot • $1,050,000 SOLD
The simplicity of this 1925 bungalow with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and bonus office space is well suited for today’s conscious living. Surrounded by low maintenance landscaping with striking succulents and crushed granite pathways, everything is on one level within easy reach.
The front porch with morning sunlight is a perfect sitting area for an extension of space with fresh air. Entering through the inviting, rippled glass vintage front door, you arrive in the open living room with large picture windows. Next, you see that the home has been freshly painted throughout and features hardwood floors, along with the original fireplace hearth and built-ins. The kitchen, towards the rear of the home, features a charming breakfast nook with a custom banquette and original built-in china cabinet. It offers a cozy, private place to relax.
The two good-size bedrooms each have picture windows, one with a front view, and one with a private backyard view. Both bedrooms have large closets. Off the hallway is the crisp white bathroom with a shower over tub and tile flooring. The laundry room is off the kitchen with easy access to the backyard.
A special feature of this home is the backyard shed, used as an office, with room for a desk and a place to nap - perfect for working from home. In addition, there is a hot tub whose economical design is great for two. There is also room to create a garden if desired. The home is in move-in condition, plus the sewer lateral work has been completed, and the earthquake shut-off gas valve was installed. There is only a tiny pest control report.
One of the many joys of urban living is the proximity to transportation, recreation, cafes, and more. From 1707 Lafayette there is a 5-minute walk to the estuary with a public boat launch at the foot of Grand St, a 5 block bike ride or walk to Park Street, an easy ferry commute to San Francisco from Alameda Pointe, or catch the bus just a block away on Buena Vista Ave. Alameda’s flat streets and bike lanes encourage biking all year long around town.
