463 Haight Ave, Alameda, CA 94501

ENERGY-EFFICIENT HOME IN ALAMEDA'S WEST END Built in 1908, this delightful 1,580 square foot Colonial Revival home features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. An elegant and open foyer leads to the living room on the right and the dining room on the left -- which together with coved ceilings, a pocket door, wood columns in the foyer, inlaid hardwood floors, dual-pane windows, a wood-burning fireplace in the dining room, and other wood detail -- make this area truly ideal for family living, family get-togethers and entertainment. Straight ahead of the foyer is a full updated bathroom with dual sinks and a tubular skylight. There is a bedroom off to the left of this bathroom, and another off to its right with a Murphy bed. Adjoining the dining room is a brightly-lit kitchen with tile countertops. To the right of the kitchen, there is a good-sized master bedroom and an updated master bathroom which also has dual sinks, a tubular skylight and radiant floor heating. The shady, private and low-maintenance backyard with drought-tolerant landscaping features a large mature avocado tree, flagstone walkway and a kid's play structure and provides the perfect setting for backyard entertaining. It is certainly spacious enough to accommodate good-sized parties. The backyard is also big enough to provide more space for gardening and accommodate a ground-hugging deck in the future for added convenience. At the street level, the 7 tall full basement includes a 1-car attached garage that is equipped with a 220-volt electric car charger. Adjacent to the garage, the remainder of the basement accommodates a high-efficiency central heat system, a tankless water heater and an abundance of room for a workshop and storage. 463 Haight Avenue is also equipped with numerous other desirable features. The rooftop photovoltaic solar panel, the large insulated attic and insulated walls and floors at the main level, solar-powered attic ventilators, dual-pane windows, and the high-efficiency central heat unit -- all working together -- help conserve energy during the winter, keep the home cooler during the summer, and result in lower electric and gas bills throughout the year. A newer 40-year roof, newer gutters, copper plumbing, some electrical upgrades, and custom honeycomb shades further enhance the appeal of this very attractive home.
