Mid Century Modern Living at the Beach! Rare opportunity to own an updated 3 Bed/2 Bath home just steps away from Alameda beach and Crown Memorial State Park. Driving to and from home you will always be greeted by the beautiful views of San Francisco and the bay. Upon entry you'll notice the interior of the home features an open floor plan that makes the transition from outside entertainment to inside hosting seamless. The kitchen holds its charm with its original solid wood cabinetry with modern touches such as new solid stone counter tops and stainless steel appliances including a Samsung range and dishwasher. The flooring was chosen by HGTV's Cora Sue Anthony which delightfully pairs the two. The expanded master suite boasts a wall of closets, a textured brick wall, and a patio. Other home upgrades include: Dual pane windows, french drain system, newer roof, updated electrical/panel, dual pane patio doors, keyless entry and washer and dryer.
