3279 Encinal Ave, Alameda, CA 94501

Built in 1939, this gorgeous home features an extensive front yard with custom brick pavers that provide a pathway through the lush garden, full of blooming rose and lavender bushes and drought resistant plantings. The entrance to the house is set back from the street, with a lovely wood framed covered porch and seating area that can easily accommodate a pair of comfy chairs or a bistro table. Originally a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, this home has been extended to include a spacious family room facing out to the backyard and 2 more bedrooms plus an additional bathroom upstairs. The home still retains all of the vintage charm that define this era: large divided light windows, detailed crown molding and hardwood floors, plus original hardware on many of the doors and windows.
