Modern Comfort. Coastal Cool. Your Alameda Escape. 1230 Ballena is not your cookie-cutter townhome; it is a 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom Ballena Bay stunner that blends edge with ease. Over 1,600 sqft of radiance, glass, and flow, anchored by vaulted ceilings and skylights that flood the living room with natural light. Think late-night conversations by the fire, a patio begging for champagne brunches that linger into the afternoon, a second living area to unwind, and two generously sized bedrooms upstairs that double as private escapes. The vibe? Resort living with a wink. The Ballena Bay HOA brings resort energy with a sparkling pool, lush grounds, and the simplicity of low-maintenance living. Location? Unmatched. Steps to the Marina, Pier 29, and Near Crown Memorial State Beach, Webster Street eateries, Alameda Point’s Spirit Alley, and South Shore Center, with quick connections to the SF Bay Ferry, bus lines, and I-880. 1230 Ballena is not just real estate, it is a lifestyle. Ballena Bay with bite.

Recently updated inside and outside, this vintage 1908 Colonial Revival-style cottage is filled with charm and lovely early 20th-century architectural features. Located just 2 blocks to Encinal Market and only 4 blocks to both Lincoln Middle and Otis Elementary schools, this sweet, newly updated home features 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, formal living and dining rooms, a large eat-in kitchen and a bonus room/office. The home's semi-finished Victorian-era "high basement" w/ garage measures an additional 893 SF, potentially providing significant home square footage expansion (buyer to verify with county/city codes). Recent updates/remodels include new interior/exterior paint, refinished hardwood floors, new bonus room carpeting and new light fixtures. The large eat-in kitchen has new flooring, quartz counters, new hardware and refreshed cabinets. A bonus room off the kitchen makes a great home office, studio or playroom, and gives easy access to attic storage. The newly landscaped front and side yards create wonderful curb appeal + great gardening opportunities! The home's sought-after East End location is just minutes to parks, schools, the shoreline, the South Shore Center and the SF Ferry. Loads of charm in this East Bay jewel!
