Wherever you look in the Bay Area, it would be hard to find a newer home, grand in scale, in a small town neighborhood, close to coffee and yet 2 minutes to Jack London Square, 5 minutes to the Beach and 20 minutes to downtown San Francisco.

But that would describe exactly the “West End” neighborhood of Bayport in Alameda and the home at 319 Robert Louis Stevenson. The home is one of the larger homes in Bayport, which is part of Alameda’s burgeoning West End, along with Alameda Landing and the new neighborhoods of Alameda Point. The Bayport community is a collection of about 500 homes, built in 2004 –2008 on the old supply yard of the Alameda Naval Air Station, just across the estuary from Jack London Square. Bayport was the first development and is now being followed by Alameda Landing, which includes several hundred homes and stores such as Target and Safeway. Soon, development is slated to begin on the biggest prize: Alameda Point, which will include close to a thousand homes, offices, parks ,a sports complex, shopping and the Veteran Hospital.
As one of the higher end homes of Bayport, 319 Robert Louis Stevenson was designed to be grand in scale. Indeed, within its over 3,400 square feet, it has the large spacious rooms, high ceilings and architectural details reminiscent of Alameda’s historic homes.
At the same time, it has the indoor/outdoor flow and amenities of today’s most contemporary homes. The living room, dining room, kitchen/family room all open through French doors to a lush courtyard. Off the courtyard is also a private guest suite for au pairs or returning millennials. The large kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite, a breakfast bar and lunch area opens to a private garden. Upstairs there’s a library loft, and a magnificent master retreat with his and her walk in closets. Two other large bedrooms round out this grand home.
And , of course, in keeping with Alameda’s personality, 319 Robert Louis Stevenson is on a tree-lined street, just across from Bayport Park.
