Located on a tree-lined cul-de-sac with picturesque homes from the 1930s, this charming split-level cottage has remained in the same family since it was built in 1938! Offering plenty of curb appeal, this sweet vintage home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, traditional living and dining rooms and a large, beautifully remodeled kitchen. Details include random width quarter-sawn oak floors in most rooms, wrought iron railings, the original fireplace, and abundant natural light throughout. The thoughtfully designed kitchen includes ample cabinet storage, marble counters and backsplashes, and top-of-the-line stainless steel KitchenAid appliances. Both bedrooms are generously sized, and the main bedroom includes a Juliet balcony while the second bedroom overlooks the beautiful backyard. A split lower level includes laundry + access to the attached garage. The exceptional backyard garden is filled with mature colorful landscaping, a deck off the kitchen, Connecticut bluestone hardscaping interspersed with dark river rocks, container plants and so much more; a truly wonderful place for relaxing and an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Located just blocks from highly ranked schools, parks, the SF Bay shoreline, and the South Shore Center's many amenities. A rare Alameda opportunity!
