This nearly new home is within walking distance of Park Street shopping, new movie theater, new library, many restaurants, and Alameda High School. The home was originally a Northern Pacific Train Station in San Francisco that was brought over on a barge in 1906 and placed on a large 7,000 square foot lot on Encinal Avenue, here on Alameda. I purchased the home in 2004 and spent four years and approximately $300,000.00 expanding and updating it, while retaining its original historic character. This home was built with efficiency in mind. The use of a gas powered high efficiency forced air home heater, tank-less water heater, new efficient appliances, insulation, and skylights assure low utility bills. The large 4' by 4' skylights bring in allot of natural light throughout the day, eliminating the need for electric lighting in most rooms, including two 2x4 skylights in the attic. All work done by permit and to code. 3 Bedrooms, 2.5 baths. Skylights and high ceilings created very bright rooms. All doors and windows have custom molding. Crown molding and base molding throughout. Restoration Hardware fixtures. Kohler plumbing fixtures. Painted in neutral colors inside and out. Hardwood floors (Australian Cypress 3/4 inch thick). New carpeting in all three bedrooms. High efficiency Jeld-Wen windows (Double-pane, Argon Gas filled). Good storage in large well lit attic (Two 2' X 4'skylights bring in allot of natural light).
