Resting on a private cul-de-sac in the East End neighborhood of Alameda, 1031 Doris Court is a delightful, 2+BD/1BA Art Deco bungalow boasting charming period details including a traditional covered front porch, coved ceilings, burnished wood floors, and original gumwood trim and built-in cabinetry. The original fireplace was converted to gas specifically designed to provide heat to the room. The home features an open common area and has been remodeled with an eye to modern comfort and convenience with an updated kitchen and bath, laundry room, and custom closets. The beautifully landscaped backyard is ideal for a play area or for alfresco entertaining, and a ~287 sq ft detached structure has been finished and remodeled with ~157 sq ft for use as an office or studio with an additional ~130 sq ft for storage.
Ideally situated in the coveted East End neighborhood, the home is near Lincoln Park, Park Street shops and restaurants, and the SF ferry. Elsewhere in the island city of Alameda, a small-town sensibility is evident in its twice-weekly farmer’s market, picnic areas and summer concerts at Crab Cove, Crown Beach with its annual sandcastle competition, the longest 4th of July parade in the country, an annual stroll down Christmas Tree Lane, and twice-yearly art and wine fairs.
