Situated on a large waterfront corner lot on one of Alameda's iconic, picturesque lagoons, this gracious wood-shingle Craftsman triplex offers unobstructed water views, vintage charm and a convenient Bronze Coast location. A legal triplex, the property has verifiable past income from two second floor studios that include a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and a separate entrance, with both offering lagoon views, access to basement laundry and the spacious shared backyard. The sunny main floor owner's unit has a living/dining room, 2 BR, 2 BA, a kitchen and in-unit laundry. A charming waterfront boathouse includes a kitchenette, BA and studio, making it ideal for artists, visiting guests, a workshop or home office. The recipient of an Alameda Architectural Preservation Society Award in 2022, this elegant home presents many versatile owner options; maintaining the home as an income-producing triplex, taking advantage of separate living spaces for multi-generational living, or potentially converting the home into an expansive single family residence. Located at the end of a cul de sac, the home is just minutes to South Shore Center amenities + convenient to the beach and Park Street’s many shops and restaurants. A rare ownership and/or investment opportunity!

Condition Rating
Fair

This historic 1905 Craftsman triplex boasts significant vintage charm and appears well-maintained structurally, as evidenced by its clean interiors, good condition hardwood floors, and an Architectural Preservation Society Award in 2022. However, the kitchens and bathrooms, while functional, are notably dated. The main kitchen features older white appliances, basic white cabinets, and dated green linoleum flooring. The bathrooms have pedestal sinks, older chrome fixtures, and classic but outdated tile work. These areas would require significant cosmetic updates to meet current quality standards and buyer expectations, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of requiring minor updates and having major components that are functional but show signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Donald D. Lum Elementary School (9/10). High School: Alameda High School (9/10).
Prime Waterfront Location & Views: Situated on a large waterfront corner lot with unobstructed water views of Alameda's picturesque lagoons, offering a highly desirable and scenic living environment.
Income-Producing & Versatile Property: A legal triplex with verifiable past income from two studio units, providing immediate rental revenue. Offers flexible options for owner-occupancy with income, multi-generational living, or potential conversion to an expansive single-family residence.
Historic Charm & Architectural Recognition: A gracious wood-shingle Craftsman built in 1905, boasting vintage charm and recognized with an Alameda Architectural Preservation Society Award in 2022, adding significant character and prestige.
Unique Boathouse Amenity: Includes a charming waterfront boathouse with a kitchenette, bathroom, and studio space, ideal for creative pursuits, guest accommodation, a home office, or workshop.
Excellent Neighborhood & Accessibility: Located in a convenient Bronze Coast area at the end of a cul-de-sac, minutes from South Shore Center amenities, the beach, and Park Street's shops and restaurants, enhancing lifestyle and convenience.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Age of Property & Potential Maintenance: Built in 1905, the property's age suggests a likelihood of ongoing maintenance requirements and potential need for updates to major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that are not explicitly stated as recently upgraded.
Complexity of Multi-Unit Management: As a legal triplex, managing multiple tenants, shared common areas (like the backyard and basement laundry), and adhering to landlord-tenant regulations can be more complex and time-consuming than owning a single-family home.
Renovation Costs for Conversion: While offering versatility, converting the triplex into a cohesive, expansive single-family residence would likely involve significant renovation costs, architectural planning, and permit processes to integrate the separate living spaces.
