Property Description

Welcome to 3257 Central Avenue, a remarkable 1920 Craftsman nestled on one of Alameda's most idyllic tree-lined streets in the coveted East End, where a friendly community thrives—and you've got your own private gate to the center of Lincoln Park. This beautifully maintained home pairs timeless Craftsman character with thoughtful modern upgrades. Original details—including rich hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, leaded glass, crown molding, and built-ins—are beautifully preserved, while updated electrical and plumbing, 200-amp service, owned solar, a newer heat pump with AC, EV charging, and more bring modern comfort. Three bright bedrooms feature built-in closet systems, including a well-appointed primary. The full bath has been nicely refreshed and offers a sleek, modern feel with abundant storage. At the heart of the home is an incredible chef's kitchen, featuring a 36" professional Thor range with convection oven, Viking hood, abundant workspace, and room to gather. But the magic truly unfolds outdoors. This is California living at its best, with a lush, private, fully fenced backyard designed for entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Dine al fresco beside a beautiful bamboo garden, gather around the fire pit, or wander through the chef's garden, overflowing with tomatoes, basil, artichokes, blackberries, peppers, squash, sage, oregano, and more. A private gate opens directly into the center of beloved Lincoln Park—an extraordinary extension of your own backyard. The detached garage offers remarkable flexibility, with new epoxy flooring, full electrical and water, laundry, abundant storage, and potential as a family room, game room, workshop, or creative space. Double off-street parking adds even more convenience. Move-in ready and perfectly positioned in Alameda's coveted East End, near top-rated schools, neighborhood shops, the beach, and commuter access. And just in time for the annual neighborhood block party each September—a chance to meet the neighbors and discover why this is such a special place to call home.
