Property description
A true gem in the heart of Central Alameda near Park Street, 905 Chestnut is an enchanting 3BD/1.5BA split-level Art Deco with ultra-charming vintage features, extraordinary outdoor spaces, a panoply of stylish modern upgrades, and one of the coolest treehouses you are likely to experience. High ceilings with crown moldings, warm hardwood floors, beadboard paneled walls, and double-hung windows retain the character of the era, while the open common area, updated eat-in kitchen with breakfast nook, and generous modern bath offer convenience and comfort. Multiple front and rear decks and spacious patios provide fabulous spaces for elegant entertaining, organic gardening, or simple relaxation, while a brilliantly designed custom treehouse will be a hit with every child who sees it (you may be tempted to spend some time there yourself!). Additional amenities include a bonus room ideal for a den or home office with its own powder room, a laundry room, and attached garage.
