    What's special

    Built in 1891, this Victorian was turned into a legal duplex, and could be converted back to a single family home, if one desires. The duplex at street level has two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and one bath. Beyond this first space, there is an additional living space at the rear of the lower level, with a separate entrance, that includes a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. The upper level features a living room, kitchen, one bedroom, one bathroom, and an enclosed porch or storage area. The lower level duplex has a bright and airy living room with a nook that is perfect for a home office or work area. The kitchen is off of the living room, and has a gas range, a refrigerator and a dishwasher. The smaller of the two bedrooms is off of the kitchen, and has a door that connects it to the currently separated secondary lower space. The larger bedroom is adjacent to the living room and bathroom and has plenty of bright, natural light. The bathroom has a pedestal sink, shower over the tub, and a window for light and ventilation. The upper level is up a set of stairs at the front of the house, and an archway and covered landing protects the entrance. The front door opens to a living room with the original oak hardwood floors, high ceilings, and tall windows that provide plenty of natural light. The bathroom is off of the living room, and has a wood vanity with a granite top and a shower over the tub. The bedroom has hardwood floors, a roomy closet, and is drenched in sunlight. The eat-in kitchen has black granite counters, a divided stainless steel sink, and a series of windows that bring in brightness. Appliances include a Maytag gas range, a built-in microwave, and an LG refrigerator. An enclosed porch/storage area is at the back of the house off of the kitchen, and has its own rear exit that leads to a stairway that goes down into the backyard. The front yard has a lovely, flowering garden, while the spacious rear yard has brick pavers, a detached storage shed, and is fully fenced for privacy. The detached storage shed features a washer and dryer for the units to both use. Located in Alameda’s bustling West End, 538 Palace Court is situated on a quiet, residential cul-de-sac, yet is just minutes away from shopping, restaurants, and all of the many happenings at Webster Street, Alameda Point and Alameda Landing. Generate rental income, or convert the space back to a single family residence! With its easy access to freeways, the SF Ferry, and other means of public transportation, this special property can be anything you wish to make it.
