3315 Central Ave is a rare East End compound with the space, separation, and flexibility that almost never come together in one Alameda property. Behind its classic street presence sits a true two-home setup: a 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath split-level main residence, a detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath rear home, a private courtyard, garage, and additional flexible space in both homes. The main residence is defined by warmth and architectural character, with hardwood floors, exposed-beam ceilings, a brick fireplace, and light-filled living and dining rooms that flow naturally from one to the next. The detached rear home is where this property becomes something more. It gives extended family their own space. It gives guests privacy. It gives you the freedom to create a private office, studio, gym, retreat, or a place to decompress at the end of the day. Both homes also offer separate utility space, giving this compound a level of everyday functionality that is rare in the East End. Room for the gear, the work, the hobbies, the family, and the life that does not fit neatly inside a typical floor plan. Set in Alameda’s coveted East End, wander its tree-lined streets, grab coffee or dinner on Park Street, and take in the shoreline just minutes from your door. Ferry access, freeways, BART, AC Transit, and Oakland International keep the entire Bay Area within easy reach. Not just two homes on one lot. A complete East End compound, built around how you want to live.
