2055 San Jose Avenue, Alameda

In the heart of Alameda’s coveted Bronze Coast sits this completely upgraded, 2220 SQFT 4BD/1.5BA Edwardian offering a comfortable, modern lifestyle surrounded by old world elegance and architectural details of a stately 1907 home, including a grand staircase, bay windows, pocket doors, picture railings, colorful glass work, medallions, and fireplaces. The lower floor flows seamlessly from the sunny formal living and dining rooms to an unusually open floor plan with stylish kitchen, powder room, laundry area, and gorgeous den with a beamed ceiling and French doors opening to a deck and covered porch. This is your first exposure to a wonderful backyard with deck, patio, expansive lawn and urban farm section with custom raised beds. A windowed garage can also be a flexible space as a studio or playroom, while the home’s vintage motor court offers plenty of parking. Enjoy privacy and quiet in the four bright bedrooms upstairs and share a recently remodeled split bath with a dual vanity sink. The primary bedroom has a large, enclosed sleeping porch ready as a potential sitting area or office. Storage galore and expansion potential can be found in the giant, full-height basement. Only blocks away, find A+ public and private schools, the beach, Transbay bus stop, Shoreline shopping center, lively Park Street, and Alameda’s lovely shoreline trails.
