The kitchen sports vintage tile countertops, a breakfast bar, tons of cabinet space and a skylight. The roomy primary bedroom opens onto a wide deck overlooking the backyard. A walk-in closet and full bath complete the upstairs. The downstairs is a stylish, 1 bedroom, 1 bath residence with a living room and kitchenette. French doors lead out to the yard with plenty of room for gardening.There's a laundry room and attached garage. 229 Alamo Avenue is conveniently close to the Farmers Market, the University of California, hiking and biking trails, restaurants, breweries and shops.
