2907 San Jose Ave, Alameda, CA 94501

This gorgeous East End home has the unique feel of a classic New England style costal home with a modern California sensibility. Set back from the curb on a quiet, tree-lined street in the desirable East End, this home has been renovated from the foundation to the roof and everything in between, including plumbing, electric, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring and dual pane windows. The interior and exterior have also both been freshly painted. The exterior staircase leads you up to the covered front porch with a classic Craftsman style light fixture and a beautiful copper mailbox. The spacious and sunny living room features a large divided light Marvin bay window with a built-in bench seat with storage space underneath. The window looks out onto the landscaped front yard with a flagstone path and a large, picturesque pine tree. In addition, the living room features a clerestory window for additional natural light and tasteful accents like wainscoted walls, newer hardwood flooring with mahogany inlay, and a built in floor-to-ceiling library style bookcase. The first of the three bedrooms is located off of the living room and is a perfect spot for a study or guest room. The newly installed hardwood floors and a large window with natural light add to the charm of this room. The spacious cedar-lined walk in closet with built in shoe storage is a rare find in a home of this vintage. The modern, eat-in kitchen is located directly off of the living room through a large arched opening creating an open floor plan feeling. The freshly painted white cabinets and bead board ceiling give the kitchen a light and bright feel as do the leaded glass window display cabinets and the canned task lighting over the sink. The large GE French-door refrigerator is recessed into the wall allowing more space within the kitchen. Additional appliances include a Samsung dishwasher, a gas stove with an overhead built in microwave/hood combo. The beautiful Master bedroom is located at the back of house and up two stairs. It offers lengthy, divided light windows behind the bed as well as additional windows on either side that give sweeping views of the backyard arbor and foliage. Quiet and secluded, the room features a vaulted ceiling, accented with a Capiz shell chandelier and fresh Berber carpeting. A huge sliding door closet offers a built in storage system, with 2 hanging bars and tons of shelving and compartments. The upstairs bath has a fresh, coastal, Cape Cod feel. A classic claw-foot bathtub with a vintage style shower-head and classic sink fixtures are complemented by a white tiled floor and a crisp blue tiled countertop with a porcelain sink. Glass shelving along the wall is perfect for storage or display. The lower level offers a spacious garden level bedroom suite. Secluded and quiet, with windows looking out onto the beautiful backyard, this space provides access to two separate closets, one with a spacious hanging bar, the second offering built-in shelving providing maximum storage and convenience. A glass door gives direct access to the backyard from the suite. The downstairs bathroom has a porcelain pedestal sink and a walk in shower, beautifully encased in sturdy glass doors and tiled in a crisp blue. The bathroom also features a built-in alcove and glass shelving for storage or display.
