About this home

Saunter down this small fairytale street in Alameda’s coveted East End and you’ll come upon this artistic Craftsman bungalow: 2839 Washington Street. Full of Craftsman details and creative touches, it just says “you’re home.” A novel entry brings you to the light-filled living room, dining room with bay windows. The primary and guest bedrooms open onto their own lush greenery. The updated farmhouse kitchen says "come on in" with its off white Shaker style cabinets, stone countertops and new appliances That takes you to another rather big plus: an upper floor “great room" with an extra 515 square feet of space to create your own art room, media room or office. As for pluses ... and added income ... there's a fully oufited studio cottage with its own patio that previously rented for $1750 per month (ADU potential). And that's all set in its good-sized yard with loads of room for gardens, barbecues and friends around the firepit.

Despite being built in 1912, this Craftsman bungalow has undergone extensive and recent renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features updated off-white Shaker style cabinets, stone countertops, and new stainless steel appliances. The bathroom is also updated with a modern vanity and clean tiling. Hardwood floors are present in main living areas and bedrooms, with natural stone tile in the kitchen, entry, and bathroom, all appearing well-maintained. The property includes a finished attic 'great room' and a fully outfitted studio cottage, indicating significant investment. While some tile choices lean towards a farmhouse aesthetic rather than ultra-modern, the overall condition is excellent, functional, and requires no immediate renovations.
