If you love a home with a story, welcome to 1730 Lincoln Ave, Alameda. Nestled right in the historic Grand Station Historic District at the corner of Grand Street and Lincoln Ave, in Central Alameda, you’re moving into a spot that’s been a hub of activity for nearly 160 years. Back in 1864, Alfred A. Cohen’s San Francisco and Oakland Railroad (SF&O) used to pull up right here at what was then known as Encinal Station, renamed Grand Station in 1881. Close your eyes and you can almost imagine the rhythmic chug of steam engines making their way down Lincoln Avenue. Fast forward to today, and that same historic energy is the pulse of the neighborhood. You’ve got a corner grocery, yoga studio, boutique clothing shoo, restaurants, and even a dance theatre just moments away. Right across the street, a Japanese French immersion daycare and language center adds a unique, international flair to the block. Plus, you're perfectly positioned near the highly rated Maya Lin Elementary and Alameda High schools. But the real magic is how close you are to the water. Whether you’re launching from the Grand Street boat ramp, keeping a slip at Grand Marina, bathing in the Hot Tub Boats or exploring the vibrant waterways at Brooklyn Basin and the Oakland Estuary, life here revolves around the bay. Across the island in the other direction brings you to Alameda Beach, where you can spend afternoons kite boarding, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, or cycling along the bayside paths with the iconic San Francisco skyline as your backdrop. Inside, this 1915 three-bedroom, one-bathroom home perfectly balances that vintage soul with modern living. The first things you’ll notice are the gorgeous hardwood floors that run through the space, leading you into a beautifully remodeled kitchen and dining room ready for everything from quick morning coffees to big dinner parties. For ultimate convenience, there is a dedicated laundry room that makes keeping life organized a breeze. Step outside to find a cozy, low-maintenance backyard ideal for parking bicycles, growing vegetables, frivolous play, a morning coffee or an evening entertaining friends. If you have a lot of gear for those beach days or just love a good project space, the large garage and extra basement bonus space are huge perks. Best of all, the garage is already equipped with an EV charger, so you're ready for the future. In the center of the island, its the perfect blend of a storied past and an active, modern lifestyle.
