Here's your chance to own a completely updated duplex in Alameda's East End, where beach town vibes meet serious investment potential. 3239 Briggs Avenue just got the full renovation treatment, and honestly, it shows.
Both units feel brand new. Fresh exterior paint welcomes you before you even get inside, and once you do, everything from the kitchens to the bathrooms to the floors has been thoughtfully updated. This isn't one of those "we painted the walls and called it remodeled" situations. This is the real deal.
Unit A gives you two-story living with a pretty sweet setup. Internal garage access means you never have to brave the rain, and hardwood floors flow throughout. The kitchen is where you'll really see the attention to detail: white quartz countertops that actually stay looking good, clean white cabinets, and brand-new stainless steel appliances. Two bedrooms upstairs give everyone their space, while downstairs the wood-burning fireplace makes those foggy Bay Area nights feel extra cozy.
Unit B takes a different approach with everything on one level. Here we have the same gorgeous kitchen finishes as Unit A, but there’s also a skylight over the dining area that floods the space with natural light. The in-unit stacked washer/dryer is tucked away but accessible, and yes, this unit has its own fireplace too.
The outdoor setup is where this property really stands out from other East End duplexes. Right now, each unit has its own fenced area, but with this much yard space, you could reconfigure however makes sense for your situation. The mature trees provide privacy, patio areas are set up for outdoor living, and there’s enough room that you could potentially add an ADU if that's your thing (definitely verify with the city, but the space is there).
Let's talk about what makes this different from other duplexes currently on the market. First, the parking situation is exceptional: two attached garages plus room for more vehicles. Then we have the amount of usable yard space compared to similar properties, which is significant. And finally, and this is huge, everything is updated - you're not buying someone else's deferred maintenance headaches.
The location puts you two blocks from beloved Lincoln Park, with its baseball field, pickleball and bocce ball courts, rose garden, and community pool. Twelve years of top-rated schools nearby make this area ideal for families. Also close by are the golf course, South Shore Shopping Center, Oakland Airport, and the ferry to San Francisco will keep you connected to everything while maintaining that relaxed Alameda lifestyle people dream about.
The neighbors throw an annual block party together - real community, not just people who live near each other.
So who's this for? Maybe you're an investor who understands that fully renovated duplexes in prime East End locations don't come around often. Maybe you want to live in one unit while the other covers your mortgage. Maybe you need multigenerational living where everyone has real privacy and independence. All of those scenarios work here.
The combination of updates and charm with serious outdoor space, excellent parking, and this fantastic East End location creates something truly special. People vacation in Alameda for the lifestyle - you could own a piece of it while building real wealth.

East End living with Lincoln Park two blocks away.
Alameda began as a peninsula just south of Oakland and is now an East Bay island with a laid-back feeling all its own. You will find a variety of homes and condos for sale in Alameda including cozy apartments, spacious single family homes that have been fully renovated, and gorgeous luxury mansions where no expense was spared. With more than 10,000 buildings constructed before 1930, there is a rich and varied architectural heritage in the area playing a role in Alameda's real estate market conditions. Historic Queen Anne's, more than 1,500 ornately decorated Victorians, and California Craftsmans are some of the most desirable homes here along its tree-lined streets.
When locals want to explore the various shopping, landmarks, museums, and dining, they usually head to Park Street. You may want to start your day with a visit to the Alameda Museum. Since 1948, the museum has preserved the rich history of this unique island city and offers both locals and tourists an opportunity to learn more about the great island of Alameda.
Civic pride runs high in Alameda, and many of the city’s older buildings have been fully restored or repurposed. The Alameda Theater on Park Street was restored to its art deco glory, while the Alameda Free Library was transformed from the Carnegie Library into a multimillion-dollar showplace that earned a Silver LEED certification. Alameda is also a great place for outdoor activities. The Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach is the perfect place for wind-surfing and taking a morning run near the beach.
Alameda is a great place to live if you love a vibrant atmosphere with plenty of festivals and activities to enjoy. Popular events and festivals in Downtown include a Spring Festival in May and a Classic Car Show in October. No matter the time of year, there is always something fun happening in Alameda.
