Description

Step through the door of this 1908 Craftsman in Alameda and the story starts immediately: stained glass glowing in the entry, coffered ceilings overhead, and original woodwork that has survived over a century with its warmth intact. The living spaces flow beneath chair railings and past pocket doors, opening into a dining room where another stained glass window catches the afternoon light. Deep window seats with built in storage invite a slower pace, the kind of detail that made these homes special from the start. The main living floor offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, while a full basement adds two more bedrooms, a half bath, storage, and its own windows for natural light, a layout that opens the door to income potential or simply more room to spread out. An attic completes the picture, ready for storage or future expansion. Outside, two mature walnut trees anchor a generously sized backyard built for gathering, gardening, or just enjoying the outdoors. The location puts McKinley Park and Thompson Athletic Field close by for morning walks or weekend recreation. This Alameda Craftsman blends historic charm with real flexibility, a rare combination for buyers seeking character, space, and long term value.
