Built in 1933, this newly updated single-level cottage is tucked into a private street in a special East End neighborhood close to downtown Alameda. Located just 2 blocks to Edison Elementary school and a short distance to Nob Hill Foods, the home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a traditional living room, a freshly updated kitchen open to a dining room or family room, a sun porch overlooking the backyard, and a detached garage. Recent updates/remodels include a newer roof (2025), newer exterior paint (2022), new light fixtures, and fresh interior paint and refinished hardwood floors throughout. The inviting living room has a wood-plank vaulted ceiling and a brick fireplace next to a built-in cabinet/bookcase. The sunny, fenced backyard has mature trees, a lawn and a wood deck. Intimate in scale and rich in vintage appeal, this inviting residence presents a distinctive opportunity to enjoy the enduring character of an earlier era with the comfort of modern updates, and offers an attractive alternative to a condo, or a special home for those wanting to downsize or for first-time home buyers. Easy access to freeways and BART. Charming!
