Features
Rarely does a 1928 Mediterranean Revival come to market with this much architectural character, thoughtful updating, and East End curb appeal. Step into timeless elegance with this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence, where period detail meets modern comfort. Set in one of Alameda's most coveted neighborhoods, it makes a striking first impression with its inviting front porch, classic detailing, and rare 2-car tandem garage.
Freshly painted inside and out and enhanced with new lighting throughout, the home showcases rich oak floors across nearly every room, reflecting the warmth, quality, and craftsmanship of its era. The light-filled living room is a true showpiece, welcoming the morning sun beneath soaring wood vaulted ceilings and anchored by a striking stone fireplace. The formal dining room offers an elegant setting for entertaining.
The kitchen offers a refined balance of character and function, featuring polished granite countertops, ample cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a Fisher & Paykel French door refrigerator, new dishwasher, and sleek Samsung electric stovetop and microwave. A sun-drenched breakfast nook creates the perfect spot for morning coffee, while LVP flooring flows seamlessly through the kitchen, family room, and primary suite.
The primary retreat features a walk-in closet and en-suite bath with a shower, new vanity, medicine cabinet, light fixture, and refreshed finishes. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms share a full bath complete with a classic soaking tub, vintage tile work, and tasteful updates that complement the home's original character.
Additional conveniences include a dedicated laundry room with full-size washer and dryer, double sink, and newly installed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The garage includes a vintage workbench and a new LG stainless steel refrigerator for added convenience, while the manicured backyard, fresh mulch, and newly painted deck create the perfect place to unwind and take in the sunset.
Ideally located from top-rated schools, boutique shopping, acclaimed dining, pristine beaches, nearby island amenities and the Oakland Airport. A true blend of historic charm and modern livability, this exceptional residence is ready to be enjoyed for years to come.

Neighborhood
Alameda is one of the last places in the Bay Area where you can buy a character home, walk to the beach, and still get to a downtown San Francisco office in under 30 minutes. Cut off from the mainland by a shipping channel over a century ago, the island has quietly avoided the sprawl and traffic of its neighbors — there's no freeway running through it, no big-box retail corridor, just tree-lined streets, a walkable downtown, and a ferry terminal that gets you to the Financial District faster than most Oakland commutes.
For buyers, that translates into real value. With over 10,000 structures built before 1930, including more than 1,500 ornate Victorians alongside classic Queen Annes and Craftsman bungalows, Alameda offers a housing stock you simply can't find being built today — and it spans every budget, from move-in-ready condos to fully restored single-family homes to showcase estates. Limited land and historic preservation rules mean inventory stays tight, which has helped the island hold its value even as the broader market shifts.
Families are drawn here for the schools and the easy rhythm of small-town life. Empty-nesters and first-time buyers alike are drawn to the walkability: Park Street and Webster Street put restaurants, grocery stores, and shops within a few blocks of nearly every neighborhood, so a car becomes optional rather than essential. Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach gives residents two miles of shoreline for morning runs, windsurfing, or just watching the sunset over the bay minutes from home.
It's also a place with civic pride baked into the architecture. The Alameda Theater has been restored to its original art deco glory, the Carnegie-era Free Library is now a Silver LEED-certified community hub, and the Alameda Museum has spent over 75 years preserving the island's story for newcomers and lifers alike. Add in a packed annual calendar — a Spring Festival in May, a Classic Car Show each October — and you get a town that feels less like a Bay Area suburb and more like the small city everyone wishes they'd grown up in.
Homes here don't sit on the market long. If you want walkability, architectural character, strong schools, and an easy SF commute without SF prices, Alameda is worth a serious look — and worth moving on quickly once you find the right home.
