Across the street from beautiful Franklin Park, Pool, and Tennis Courts, 1100 Paru is a wonderful 4++BD/2.5BA American Foursquare home resting on a large corner lot in the heart of Alameda's coveted Gold Coast. A light-filled treasure, the home features stylish modern updates, yet retains its historic character evidenced by spacious rooms, hardwood floors, and plentiful wide windows. The home includes a formal dining room, newly remodeled kitchen and informal dining area, professionally designed modern baths, 4 BDs on one level. Much of the attic has been finished, creating 2 add'l bonus rms of flex space/storage. In addition to the lush front yard, the rear yard includes award-winning landscaping, an expansive patio shaded by mature trees, and a sun-washed deck off the kitchen for summer barbecues or relaxing in the sun. A sport/basketball court provides an opportunity for a variety of outdoor games and a detached 1+ garage with long driveway makes one wonder about ADU possibilities.
