1537 Paru St, Alameda, CA 94501

Property Description

A Salmon-colored door gives you a hint of what’s to come. The Craftsman bungalow at 1537 Paru is larger than many, but still with coveted Craftsman details … artistic tiled fireplace, wood trimmed windows,narrow plank hardwood floors. That was the starting point to bring 1537 Paru into the 21st century with a more open layout with classic artistic updates throughout. The open kitchen features white Shaker cabinets, black Corian countertops and navy blue island with Schoolhouse Electric light fixtures. Up a few stairs, two of the main bedrooms offer a private respite from the public area. Both center around one of the full bathrooms, designed with a navy Fireclay tile shower surround and aged brass fixtures There’s also a third bedroom off the entry way. On the patio level, a “family” room is great for TV or just hanging out. Plus there’s a second bath, butler’s pantry and private office and laundry room. That leads to the outside “living room” … A lush garden with stone patio, avocado tree and native plants for barbecues and gathering. And an artist studio painted in Salmon of course. Just right for creative endeavors. 1537 Paru lies in the heart of Alameda. Cllose to Gold Coast and Franklin Park and Maya Lin/Franklin schools. Few minutes to Encinal cafes and shops
