4 Beds • 2 Baths • 1532 SF • 2058 SF Lot • $1,080,000 SOLD
Artistry abounds in this distinctive 4 bedroom and 2 bath home on a quiet corner laced with giant golden bamboo. The architect's creative blend of the original 20's home and its transformation during the 90's, raising the original split level and adding a full ground level with 8 feet plus ceilings, reveals unexpected beauty.
The outstanding details throughout the home give it a Zen-like feel. The use of natural wood, slate, organic tiles, limestone and bamboo, along with handmade elements distinguish it from all others. The home has been freshly painted throughout with original refinished hardwood floors on two levels and new bamboo style flooring on the first level.
This centrally located neighborhood with many single family homes is two blocks from the estuary and near Alameda Marina kayak, canoe and boat launch. Alameda's bike friendly lifestyle make riding around the island's flat, tree-lined streets a joy. The home is a short walk to Park Street shopping, the cinema, and restaurants, with quick freeway access across the Park Street Bridge. Only one block to AC Transit for a San Francisco, Berkeley or Oakland commute.
