A rare waterfront opportunity on Alameda’s coveted Ballena Bay, this upgraded 4BD/2.5BA contemporary townhome offers exceptional island living with a private deep water boat slip. From the enclosed front patio, step inside the 2452 SQFT home’s spacious and flexible living area, beginning with a large eat-in kitchen and den. Nearby, the formal dining room is connected with a passthrough to the kitchen. Dine with a view of the bay framed by the wall of windows and glass doors in the adjacent living room. Open the doors onto the deck to relax with family or entertain friends with calming waters all around you and your own private dock just steps away. The home’s lower level is complete with a powder room, laundry room with sink, and interior access to the garage. Gorgeous hardwood floors span upstairs where two sunny bedrooms with custom closets share a full bath with a dual vanity. One has glass doors onto a front balcony. Currently configured as a huge primary suite, a wall in the third bedroom can be restored to create a fourth. The rooms have fabulous bay views, and the primary bedroom has an ensuite bath, walk-in closet and a deck. Explore the vibrant island life including: Webster Street, farmers market, the ferry, Transbay bus, Crown Beach, great schools, and shoreline trails
