Property Description

Welcome to 1280 Caroline Street, a rare 1941 gem tucked onto a quiet cul-de-sac in Alameda's desirable Gold Coast neighborhood. This is the kind of address people wait years for, and it is easy to see why. Set on an extra-large lot, the property offers the kind of breathing room that simply does not come along often; room to garden, to entertain, to let the dog run, and to finally exhale. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home offers a retreat with a grand entrance, gorgeous original hardwood floors, a large formal living room, dining, and bonus room for whatever strikes you. The kitchen has double French doors leading out to the deck and all that the expansive backyard retreat has to offer. Pull up to the beautiful front landscaping, including the grand maple tree shading the front yard, and the established garden throughout the property. And then there is the detached building. Originally a garden room, then converted into two separate spaces, offering incredible flexibility and lifestyle upgrades. Call it a studio, a workshop, a creative retreat, a home office, or the beginning of a future ADU.* Whatever you call it, it changes the math on how you can live here. Whether you are an artist, a builder, a remote worker, or simply someone who's always wanted a space that is purely yours, this property delivers. Enjoy gorgeous tree-lined streets, peaceful surroundings, and a location just blocks from parks, schools, cafes, restaurants, and shops. It's a close-knit community that people are proud to call home and rarely leave. Open House: Saturday and Sunday, 2- 4 p.m
