Coveted--2241 Otis Drive, Alameda, CA
Today's new listing is a cute, decent-sized home on Otis, east of Park street, built in the 1930s.
I wonder if the property's ZipRealty agent, Marissa Kjera, is new to Alameda, because that section of Otis is not exactly a "Coveted East End location." It's not bad, if you don't mind the constant flow of commuter traffic to and from 94502 and the Oakland airport, but it's not the East End that drives people crazy. Here's a helpful labeled chart for Ms. Kjera's future listings:
1,980 sqft makes for a nice big house, and $799,000 is a nice big price ($404 / sqft, buyers not found). But what with those pesky agent commissions and the recently remodeled cottage, maybe our sellers can't afford to list it for a more realistic price:
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,980 sqft, 5,040-sqft lot, MLS(r) #40377243, $799,000
Georgeous and spacious! [...] original styling and tasteful updates. Move-in condition, excellent layout. [...] serene backyard. Beautiful, recently remodeled in-law cottage [...] Coveted East End location!
