About this home

Originally built in 1920 on Alameda’s Bay Farm Island, this charming 3BR/2BA home combines classic character with modern versatility. In the 1980s, a spacious in-law addition was added, featuring a family room, kitchenette, large bedroom, and full bath. With its own private entrance and driveway, it’s ideal for extended family, guests, or an au pair. The original residence offers 2BR, 1BA, a formal living room with fireplace, and an open dining/kitchen area recently remodeled with quartz counters and new appliances. Beautifully landscaped front and back yards frame the home, with a large redwood deck off the dining room providing the perfect space for entertaining. A detached garage adds flexibility as a home office, gym, or potential ADU. The large lot provides parking for up to 10 cars. Solar panels with a power-sellback agreement to Alameda Power deliver exceptional energy efficiency and an extremely low electric bill—live nearly off the grid! Located near Bay Farm’s top-rated schools, Safeway, Godfrey Park, shoreline, and Oakland Airport, with easy access to the SF Ferry, AC Transit OX bus, and freeways. Pride of ownership shines throughout this special home. Some photos digitally enhanced for marketing purposes.
