2248 Encinal Ave

Owned by the same family since 1957, this sweet Victorian was home to generations of local choir directors who filled it with love and song. With high ceilings and an inviting flow, the home features three bedrooms and one full bathroom on the main level, an updated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances, glowing flooring and loads of natural light. The spacious entry could easily accommodate a home office or quiet reading nook. The living room boasts a center-room fireplace, adjacent an eat-in kitchen and dining room combo. There’s even a full laundry room, downstairs. A long, gated driveway allows for many off-street parking spaces—even a boat!—leading to a backyard perfect for play, entertaining or gardening. On the street level, with a separate entrance, you’ll find an amazing, finished basement that’s nearly as big as the ‘main house’ above, with 4+ rooms and a half bathroom. It has significant renovation potential. Across the street from Alameda High School, and blocks from Park Street shops and restaurants, Crown Beach, Trader Joe’s, and some of the most beautiful tree-lined streets and the many other historical Victorians Alameda is known for, 2248 Encinal is a perfect blend of heritage, convenience and tranquility, ready for you to call home!
