On the corner of a tree-lined street in Alameda’s Gold Coast, 825 Paru is an expansive, architecturally rich 5BD/3.5BA Craftsman, grand in scale and beautifully proportioned, with 4353 SQFT of living area, multi-level patios, spacious primary suite, 3 full and 1 half renovated bathrooms, full finished basement and attic, and detached 2-car garage. With gleaming hardwood floors, soaring coved and coffered ceilings, and period built-ins, the home includes a spacious living room with an artisan stone fireplace, gracious formal dining room, remodeled chef’s kitchen with Wolf range, Sub Zero fridge, and custom cabinetry. Natural light pours through walls of paned glass in the adjacent breakfast room and glass doors open onto a sunny patio. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features an updated bath with free-standing tub, walk-in shower, and dual sinks. Four additional sun-washed bedrooms, one ensuite, offer abundant space for family, guest rooms, and a study or den. A modern hall bath serves the secondary bedrooms. Also on this level is a grand library landing with a spiral staircase leading to the finished attic with a bright recreational space offering multiple seating areas. The gorgeous rear yard is an enchanted garden bordered by verdant plantings and mature Japanese maples.
