The article profiles a unique East Bay bungalow for sale at 2828 San Jose Ave. in Alameda, showcasing its vintage charm and modern mural by a prominent artist. The 1925 constructed home features two bedrooms and a bathroom, set on a generous lot. Current owners Donald and Elena Bell emphasize preserving the home's original design rather than modernizing it. The property mirrors other Spanish Mediterranean styles in Alameda but stands out due to its distinctive features, including a unique wooden overhang and a vibrant mural, reflecting its rich history and modern artistry.
When we got the house, it was pretty clear that it had just been flipped. The sellers were a property firm that spent a year doing some superficial remodeling.
Shortly after buying the home we had to do some extensive repairs. We had an opportunity to make additions and modernize the home, but instead we simply had the contractor restore the home to its original design.
