1602 Pacific Ave, Alameda, CA 94501

Nestled on one of Alameda's slow streets sits a c.1918, side-by-side duplex, at 1602 Pacific Avenue. Its location, light and original architectural style draw you in. While the owners live on one side of the duplex, the other side is available for rent, and features approximately 1000 square feet of living space, plus large storage area. The front door opens onto a bright and cozy living room, with original hardwood floors and brick fireplace, all flooded with natural light. The dining room features built-in cabinetry and shelving and opens to both the living room and kitchen. The retro kitchen has been renovated (with a gas range, stainless appliances and granite counters), yet keeps its original charm. A rear laundry room (with in-unit washer/dryer) also serves as the kitchen's pantry, and side door, leading to the shared back yard. Down the hall, you'll find a full bathroom, with shower-over-tub, and a spacious bedroom with sunny plus-room attached just right for a smaller bedroom, home office, art studio or quiet reading room. The entire unit has fresh paint to mark it bright and cheery. Below the home, with interior access, sits a dedicated storage area in a one-car garage. There's plenty of on-street parking. This sought-after location exudes charm and convenience, not unlike the duplex. Just in from Grand, it's within blocks to the new Island Savoy market, shops and restaurants, and a short bike ride or stroll to Crown Beach, Littlejohn Park and Alameda Harbor, Trader Joe's and a convenient ferry ride over to San Francisco. Public transportation, commute routes, and all the Bay Area has to offer are so close by. We encourage pet owners to apply, and we love dogs. What a wonderful place to call home! Owner pays trash. Tenant Gas and electric. Pets ENCOURAGED. No coming indoors please. Shared garden.
