For Sale by Owner · Alameda Landing · Bay 37 Waterfront
2825 Crusader Street
Alameda, California
The residence
A ferry ride to the city. An island to come home to.
Built in 2022 with over $110,000 in designer upgrades, this Pulte-built 4-bedroom home spans three light-filled levels on Alameda’s waterfront.
The open second floor pairs a Chef's kitchen — Whirlpool stainless appliances, granite counters, upgraded maple cabinetry, and a stone-clad island — with a spacious gathering room that opens to a private balcony.
Up top, the owner's suite is a true retreat: spa bath with freestanding tub and frameless-glass shower, plus a walk-in closet — with two more bedrooms and the laundry down the hall. A flexible first-floor bedroom with a full bath and French door to the side yard makes a perfect guest suite or office.
Luxury vinyl plank floors, designer paint, and Levolor smart motorized shades run throughout — while owned solar (no lease), an EV-ready garage, and low-cost Alameda Municipal Power keep the bills down.
Outside, a $10,000+ custom side yard — porcelain-tile patio, gated entry, Japanese maple — gives you a private outdoor room, with Bohol Circle Immigrant Park, the Bay Trail, and the shops at Alameda Landing just steps away. Estuary Park's major expansion is scheduled to open nearby in late 2026.
