Property Description

 Exceptional Alameda Arts & Crafts Bungalow!

On a quiet tree-lined street
 amongst other handsome bungalows
in
the coveted Fernside neighborhood,
you’ll find this very special 1912 home.

If you're a lover of Arts & Crafts homes don't miss this gem of a bungalow! This home has been featured twice on

Alameda Historic Homes tours*


Here you’ll find natural wood wainscoting, a fireplace with leaded windows on either side, vintage light fixtures and lovely hardwood floors. Pocket doors open to a spacious dining room with and especially beautiful built-in buffet with colored leaded glass doors,  and a ceiling featuring natural wood box-beams.

The new kitchen is a true work of art! It includes all the upscale appliances that modern chefs crave — including a wine cooler, two single-drawer Fischer Paykel dishwashers and a built-in espresso machine!  A corner Dacor gas stove is a joy to cook on. The custom natural wood cabinets provide copious storage, while blending well with the original wood found elsewhere in the home. An enormous slab of gorgeous granite is the centerpiece of the room, illuminated with hand-blown glass fixtures. A built-in china cabinet and desk space make this a most practical, as well as beautiful kitchen. French doors with beveled glass lead out to a deck, ideal for that morning cappucino!

When the owners added a master suite to the existing two bedrooms and one bath, they made sure it was well-integrated with the feeling of the original home. It is a true retreat, with walk-in closet, and its own bathroom with shower. Another set of French doors lead out to a private patio for a respite from the busy world.

A large former garage is now ideal for a workshop or office. You'll have room for any number of projects in this well-lit space.

Located in the coveted Fernside area with great local schools!
