3269 Adams St, Alameda, CA 94501

Built in 1956, this classic mid-century home sits in a quiet residential neighborhood in Alameda’s East End. Situated within walking distance of Otis Elementary School and Lincoln Middle School, this single level home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large kitchen/family room combo, an open living room/dining room, and an attached garage. The home’s exterior has a stucco façade with brick trim, and a roofline with understated, broad gables. Stairs lead up to a covered brick entry porch, and the original wrought iron railings and an oversized picture window give the house a distinctive 1950s look and feel. The new Therma-Tru front door with new hardware is energy efficient, yet has a retro appearance with an inset side glass panel. Mature roses grow in the front and the entire side of the house, offering lovely views from inside the house as well as outside. The front door opens to a tiled, formal foyer with a diamond-shaped, fixed opaque-glass window. The spacious living and dining room area features a large, fixed picture window, a beautiful parquet oak floor, and a wood-burning fireplace with a brick surround and hearth. Two gallery walls are perfect for displaying art or photos, and casement windows on either side of the fireplace bring plenty of natural light into the room. The large kitchen/ family room is adjacent to the dining room, and has a ceramic tile floor for easy maintenance. The space is bright and airy with oversized windows that look out onto greenery. The kitchen features granite counters, plenty of cabinets and fresh paint, and opens directly to the family room. The washer and dryer are conveniently located in this easily accessible area, as is access to the attached garage. A hallway off of the kitchen has a coat closet, as well as utility and linen closets, and leads to the bedrooms and bathrooms at the back of the house. The hardwood floors in the hallway continue into each of the three bedrooms, and have been recently refinished. The first of two full bathrooms is situated between two bedrooms at the end of the hall, and has a ceramic tile floor, a window for ventilation and light, built-in linen cabinets, a wood vanity with a Corian top, and a shower over the tub. The bedroom to the right is bright and airy with sliding doors that open to the landscaped back yard, while the master suite has windows on two walls for plenty of light, and inviting views of the mature and leafy citrus trees in the rear garden. The en suite master bath includes a shower stall, a window with opaque glass, and a wood vanity with a Corian top.
