This wonderful private home is in a uniquely private location, on the lagoon, with fantastic neighbors. There is a great view of the water facing west from the living room, kitchen, family room, master bedroom and outdoor living space. A large 3 panel sliding glass door from the family room to the backyard provides a beautiful view of the patio, lagoon and dock. There is a covered back patio that provides wind protection which makes it nice for entertaining and watching the sunset. This home is in the East End on a quiet, friendly cul-de-sac with ample street parking. It is walking distance to Shoreline Shopping Center with a large Tesla charging station, the beach, Krusi City Park with public tennis courts, Corica Park and Golf Course and 3 levels of Alameda's best schools. The open floor plan provides lots of natural light and there is good sound insulation between the three spacious bedrooms. The kitchen was recently fully remodel with waterfall stone counters, new canned lighting, a large farmhouse sink and all new stainless steel appliances including gas stove, refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher. The family room has a wood burning, gas lighting fireplace, nice hardwood floors, quality shudders on the front windows and a lovely stone mantel/hearth.
