Nestled beneath two century-old heritage oaks in Alameda’s East End - just moments from Park Street - 1361 Regent is a splendid 3BD/2.5BA, 2384 sq ft Craftsman with bonus basement space including a full bath and private entrance. Steeped in Arts & Crafts character, the home features gleaming hardwood floors with decorative inlay, fluted columns, polished wainscoting with plate rails, box beam coffered ceilings, a unique inglenook fireplace, and a formal dining room with bay window, original glass pocket door, and traditional built-in cabinetry. The best of both worlds, the home balances vintage flavor with stylish modern upgrades including a sleek, sophisticated chef’s kitchen and cheerful breakfast nook with radiant heat, updated baths, and a sunny laundry room with front-loading washer and dryer.
Bordered by redwood trees, the enclosed back yard has the feel of a tranquil oasis with a delightful arbor and burbling fountain. A railed wooden deck and two expansive brick and paver patios provide ample space for an afternoon barbecue or evening entertaining beneath twinkling cafe lights. Lime, Japanese pear, Mission fig, and blood orange trees surround the patio and offer a harvest of fruit all year long.
Ideally located in the island city of Alameda with its small town feel and first-class amenities, the home is minutes from the historic Alameda Theater and excellent Park Street restaurants, shops, and cafes, as well as the highly regarded Edison School, Chochenyo Park, and Lincoln Park and pool. Commuters will enjoy convenient access to the SF ferry, BART, and AC Transit bus lines.
