Property summary

Storybook Charm with Voluminous Rooms + Expansion Potential on an Oversized Alameda Lot = Your Dream Home. Tucked behind a lush lawn with mature foliage and a long driveway, this 1920s English Cottage–style gem is a rare find. With 1,846 sq ft on a huge 7,000 sq ft lot, it offers character, space, and potential. Step inside the show-stopping living room with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, fireplace with detailed surround, and large picture windows that flood the space with light—like your own vintage ballroom. Generously sized rooms create a gracious, welcoming atmosphere that invites you to relax and feel at home. Original hardwood floors have been professionally resurfaced, and period details like coved ceilings and wood trim enhance the charm, while a newer furnace and central AC provide modern comfort. The traditional layout includes a formal dining room and cozy breakfast nook. The kitchen & bath retain their vintage appeal and present an opportunity to customize. Legally a 2-bed, 1-bath, the home also includes a generous upstairs space—currently a 3rd bedroom—with potential for a luxe primary suite. The detached garage offers ADU potential, with possible room for another in the deep backyard. Restore, expand, or enjoy as-is—this Alameda home is ready for your next chapter.
