About this House

This home with slightly over 2000 sq. ft. of living area features traditional architecture with a living room the whole width of the house. A large fireplace with original tile face adorns one wall. A spacious formal dining room is adjacent. Two bedrooms on the main floor and a full bath make for a convenient layout. The efficiently designed kitchen was remodeled with permits in 1998. The upper level of the home has another bedroom plus a large open area that could be another bedroom, but currently used as a den/family room. There is also a basement with laundry and opportunity for other uses. A long driveway has a portico leading through French doors to the dining room for easy deliveries, ending at a large two car garage. Speaking of large, the lot is one of the largest in the neighborhood at approximately 8800 sq. ft.! The home has been in the family since 1973 and will need some TLC to bring her back to her former glory. A great opportunity for the next owner to settle in B4 Xmas!

Parent Rating Average
We have a 2nd grader and a Kindergartener attending Edison. As a parent, I have had a positive experience with the staff, the teachers, and the principal who genuinely cares about the students and the families. I cant speak for the Special Ed classes, but so far my kids teachers have been wonderful. The kids are building solid friendships and I have seen proactive measures taken when it comes to poor behavior or bullying. Families are very much involved as well.

"The bus is always running late or early but if you have their app it is very manageble. Around 5 minute walk to get to the park, 5-20 minutes to the nearest store, and very close to reasturants only a mile."

"This part of Alameda's East End is superb for those who like to walk instead of driving to all of the daily stops like shopping, eating out, dropping the kids off to elementary school. The neighborhood has homeowners and renters of all ages who are community minded and look out for one another. And we can't forget about the incredible architecture found all over Alameda either. Homes date back to the late 1800's and feature some of the most beautiful charming details you will ever see in a home. "
