Charming--1528 Broadway, Alameda, CA

|
As it turns out, it's not just modern McMansions like the Bayport development that put houses on handkerchief lots. Today's Craftsman at 1528 Broadway is 93 years old and sits on a lot barely twice the interior footprint. The specs:

2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1,353 sqft, 3,204-sqft lot, MLS(r) #40432306, $525,000 ($388 / sqft)

Charming craftsman home with two spacious bedrooms, fireplace, hardwood floors. [...] Bonus room in basement, perfect for relaxation, office or storage. [...]

The property sold for $590,000 in 2006, and again for $370,000 in August, 2009, the latter transaction being a trustee sale. This suggests whoever owns this property has some latitude to drop the price to a more reasonable level, because $388 / sqft for a yardless house on a busy street in October 2009 isn't going to cut it.
