The Sycamore was built in 1976 in central Alameda on a lovely street lined with mature, sculptural sycamore trees. Because only twenty-four condos were built, these desirable homes rarely come to market. The well-maintained building and grounds offer mature, flowering landscaping, a secure front entrance with an entry panel to connect guests to the resident’s phone, an elevator, on-site storage for each unit, secure garage parking and additional carport parking in the rear.

Condo 204 is a sunny, second floor unit that offers a thoughtful floor plan and many tasteful upgrades. A spacious living/family room features an engineered hardwood floor, recessed lighting and sliding doors that open to a pleasant screened-in porch that is great for entertaining while taking full advantage of Alameda's gorgeous weather. The large, eat-in kitchen also offers direct access to the porch, and has new light fixtures and plenty of counter space and refreshed cabinets. A center hallway makes clever use of space with loads of closet storage as well as a concealed in-unit washer and dryer.

The sunlit master suite is situated at the end of the hall, and has new, Berber-style carpeting. A divided bathroom includes a dressing area with two spacious closets, a stylish vanity topped with marble, a travertine tile floor, and a walk-in shower with a handsome marble tile surround. A second bedroom is generously sized with a large closet, and a second full bathroom is conveniently situated across the hall.

Centrally located close to downtown Park St., the beach, the playground at Franklin Park, and many top public and private schools, this wonderful location also offers easy access to major freeways, SF Ferry, BART and ACTransit.

Neighborhood

Alameda
Alameda was once a peninsula connected to the Oakland docks. In 1902, a canal was dredged to enable easier shipping access, and that turned Alameda into an island. A little off the beaten track, Alameda has a laid-back vibe all its own. Despite its 80,000 residents, there's still a small-town feeling in Alameda. A 4th of July Parade, complete with horse-drawn carriages, embodies the small-town feel in Alameda, which has preserved much of its Victorian housing stock, cottages, and central, walkable shopping district along Park Street. The Alameda Theater on Park Street was restored to its art deco glory. Civic pride runs high here; formerly the Carnegie Library, the Alameda Free Library was transformed into a multimillion-dollar showplace that earned a Silver LEED certification. Kids play soccer on former parade grounds of the converted army barracks. Crown Memorial State Beach and Shoreline Drive attract wind surfers. With more than 10,000 buildings constructed before 1930, there is a rich and varied architectural heritage in the area playing a role in Alameda's real estate market conditions. Historic Queen Anne's, more than 1,500 ornately decorated Victorians, and California Craftsmans are some of the most desirable homes here along its tree-lined streets.
