Old World Charm with Modern Day Upgrades. Located in the historic Bronze Coast of Alameda, 914 Chestnut Street is a Transitional Queen Anne-Colonial Revival, High Basement Cottage. Built-in 1898 by Alameda Land Company, the 2-bedroom 1-bathroom home has been well maintained, and seamlessly ties old world charm with tasteful modern upgrades. The classic design allows for natural light to flow into the house from the large bay windows. Additional features include a formal entry, living and dining room, cove ceilings, classic built-ins, a fabulous updated transitional kitchen, and bathroom all amid refurbished wood floors. A show stopper, the eat-in kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, dishwasher, CaesarStone countertops, Ann Sacks tile backsplash, Restoration Hardware pendants, and recessed lighting.  A place of zen, the updated bathroom features a deep Archer alcove tub,  wainscoting, elongated octagon tile floors, sconce lighting, subway tile tub enclosure, with Grohe and Kohler fixtures.  The house features expansive bedrooms and an interior entry stairway down to the high basement spotlighting an internal garage entry with custom carriage doors, laundry area, large room, a bonus room, and a full bathroom. The garden offers lush green grass and a large Trex® deck with a walled garden for added privacy.  When you’re not enjoying time in the back garden, walk or bike to a number of local eateries, shops, Alameda Point, and South Shore Center or simply stroll down the block to grab a cup of coffee and a fresh pastry from the Blue Dot Café. Close by,  Alameda’s Crown State Memorial Beach, known for windsurfing, stand up paddling, walking, biking, and of course, a casual beach day.  With Franklin Park, Saint Joseph’s elementary, middle, high school and church just down the street, and the friendly neighborhood, this house begs to be made into your home.  For a private tour, contact Jose by voice or text at 510-523-5673 or email jose@cerdazein.com.
