1052 Fontana Dr, Alameda, CA 94502

Located on a quiet, tree-lined street in Alameda’s desirable Bay Farm Island, this lovely townhome is in the Casitas HOA development, where you can enjoy the swimming pool and clubhouse, or simply delight in the many parks and greenbelts in this gracious neighborhood. The home is also an easy walk or bike ride to Leydecker Park, the bay trails with views of SF, and the shops and restaurants of The Landing at Harbor Bay. Built in 1969, 1052 Fontana includes four bedrooms, two full baths, one half bath, an open plan living/dining room, a kitchen/family room combo, a laundry room, a two-car garage, an updated, eat-in kitchen, and a lovely inner courtyard that connects the home to the garage. The front entry has a beautiful, new ceramic tile floor that offers the look of Carrara marble, but without all of the maintenance that marble requires. A laundry room is conveniently located to the right of the front door, and an updated powder room and large utility/coat closet complete the entrance hall. The spacious, eat-in kitchen has been recently updated to include new, white quartz counters, fresh paint, new light fixtures, a new, stainless steel sink with deluxe faucet, and new, contemporary drawer and cabinet pulls. The wonderful ceramic tile in the entry continues into the kitchen and gives the space a clean, bright look. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace with a brick surround that reaches the ceiling, a pebble-stone hearth, and sliding doors on either side of the fireplace that bring plenty of natural light into the room and open to a sunny courtyard garden that is completely fenced for privacy. The room has three large gallery walls, perfect for adding book or display shelves, or for hanging art or photographs. A light-filled, curving staircase takes you to the upper level which features a master bedroom suite, a large linen closet in the hallway, three additional bedrooms, and a second bathroom. The spacious master suite has views of the pool and gardens that surround the pool, an en suite bathroom, new carpeting, a spacious walk-in closet, and sliding doors that open to a shaded balcony overlooking the pool. The en suite bathroom has a wood vanity with ample room for storage, and a new, white quartz top and recessed sink. A jetted soaking tub with a shower overhead is enclosed with glass doors and a brilliant white tile surround. Three more bedrooms on this level each feature plenty of closet space, new carpeting, and bright, natural light. One of the bedrooms has sliding glass doors that also give access to the balcony, and the other two of the bedrooms enjoy views of the sweet park across the street. A second full bathroom with a tub/shower is centrally located in the hall, and is finished with brilliant white tile, new lighting, and a large vanity with a white quartz top, and recessed sink. A spacious hall closet provides additional storage for linens and bedding. 1052 Fontana is a wonderful townhome with beautiful views from every window located close to the San Francisco Bay, the Chuck Corica public golf course and Alameda’s acclaimed public schools. San Francisco is an easy commute on the San Francisco Bay Ferry, or Interstate 880 or BART, while Oakland International Airport is also just minutes away.
