zEstimate of the beast--3322 Constance Circle, Alameda, CA

|
Once in a while I run into a listing on a street in Alameda I've never heard of. Today's property is on Constance Circle, which is way out there on the east side. The specs aren't too shabby:

3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,628 sqft, ~5,700-sqft lot, MLS(r) #40425766, $769,000
The description was apparently written by a cheapskate Wheel of Fortune contestant:

Dsrble sngl lvl in quiet East Shre nghbrhd! 3 bd, 2 ba, 1600sf of trnqul lvng! Sun filled updt kit; stnls stl appl, w/Lrg eating area. Frml liv rm w/rustic wd frpl. Exciting clrs thru-out, dl-pane wndws, prvt yrd, patio, & strg. Quaint stroll 2 waters edge, rstrnts, shping, prks & grt schls!
(note "Quaint stroll 2 waters edge" is almost entirely spelled out).

From the outside, it looks stunningly boring and almost exactly like every other house on that block:

Zillow indicates this property was sold for a lot of money just four years ago:
