Property Description
There are times when a property exudes so much character and charm that you are compelled to explore it. This is one such home and it truly delights the senses. Welcome to 824 Paru Street, an enchanting 1910 Storybook home in Alameda’s coveted Gold Coast—just one block to the lagoon and Franklin Park/Franklin Elementary. Behind a brick garden wall and gated entry, this whimsical 3,523 SqFt home showcases steep gables, sweeping curved rooflines, arched doorways, stained glass, and classic English cottage charm—a rare and beautifully preserved example of early 20th century design. Inside, the living room is a true centerpiece with rich wood paneling, leaded glass windows, and a striking fireplace with custom millwork, while classical wainscoting lines the halls leading to a dramatic second-floor landing beneath the steep roofline. Upstairs, new red oak floors complement three primary bedrooms, each with an ensuite bath (2.5 total), while original white oak floors in the living and dining rooms have been thoughtfully restored. The backyard patio invites quiet moments under a wisteria-draped gazebo. Public record notes five bedrooms; the lower level lives as a spacious family room with copper fireplace and a refined library or office with adjacent full bath. This home is truly a gem!
