Enjoy the best of Alameda’s East End in this enchanting, upgraded 2+BD/2BA Art Deco on Alameda’s beloved “Christmas Tree Lane.” Featuring architectural details and modern amenities, this 1613 SQFT home lives large with a backyard casita (an ideal office or studio) and a finished garage for additional space. From the wide, tree-lined street, step into the home’s gorgeous living room with mullioned picture windows. Recessed lighting and hardwood floors span into the dining room with its bay window and vintage built-in telephone nook. Perfect flow leads to the stylish kitchen with a signature Bertazzoni stove. Sip morning coffee in the charming breakfast nook with built-in cabinetry and backyard view. Up a few stairs, the primary bedroom is tucked away for privacy and enjoys a Juliette balcony. A full bath is shared with a sunny second bedroom. Downstairs relax in the large family room (configure as 3rd bedroom near the second full bath?) or open French doors onto the beautifully landscaped backyard. The 202 SQFT bonus structure offers home office, creative studio or ADU possibilities! The downstairs is complete with laundry room and access to the finished garage/bonus space. Nearby, find coveted schools, Transbay Bus, and Lincoln Park’s pickleball courts, pool, and playgrounds.

You know the saying, Buy the worst house on the Best block. Well this is it. This 2 bed, 2 bath home has not been maintained for years due to past rental tenant. Good bones and lots of potential! It's Christmas Tree Lane! Split level plus a plus room/area on lower level. Contractor's special.
