Bay Farm Beautifully Updated Modern Ranch

Built in 1966 and extensively remodeled in 2023, this single-level, ranch style home is situated at the end of a cul-de-sac close to greenbelts, parks and top schools in Alameda's sought-after Bay Farm Island. The first time on the market in more than 50 years, this tastefully modernized home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open living room/dining room, a spacious eat-in kitchen/family room combination, a flex/bonus room and an attached two-car garage, all on a expansive lot planted with lavender, magnolia trees and native grasses in the front, and a lush lawn, mature cherry and orange trees in the back.

Inside, the original one-level floor plan, now with thoughtfully upgraded features, offers both convenience and flexibility of use. A spacious family room/kitchen combination to the right of the front entrance makes a perfect gathering place for friends and family that includes a breakfast nook and a dual-sided brick fireplace. The kitchen, open to the family room, has been newly remodeled with a new cooktop, quartz counters, ceramic backsplash and stylish light fixtures. The separate dining room is next to the kitchen, and is completely open to the step-down living room with a brick feature wall that surrounds the fireplace. Off the living room, a bonus room with sliding doors to the backyard patio offers a multi-purpose space for an entertainment room, playroom or office.

The home's spacious primary bedroom is sunny and bright, and has original red oak hardwood floor, a large, walk-in closet and a newly remodeled en-suite bathroom with modern finishes and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms are both generously sized, and feature hardwood floors, large closets and plenty of natural light. The tastefully updated hallway bathroom has a stylish hanging vanity, and a tub/shower combination with a sophisticated stone tile surround.
1057 Gardenia Terrace offers a highly desirable location just minutes to highly ranked Amelia Earhart Elementary, Bay Farm K-8 and Lincoln Middle schools, Harbor Bay Landing Safeway and shopping, the SF Ferry and shoreline trails, with easy access to Oakland Airport and major freeways. After 50 years, this special home is ready for new owners!
