2861 Regatta Dr

Morning coffee with a view—rowers gliding by, the water just outside, and the Bay Trail at your front door. 2861 Regatta Drive lives like a townhouse rather than a condo, with generous volume, wonderful natural light from its end-unit position, and a renovation that is stylish, unexpected, and beautifully pulled together. The kitchen is a standout, with deep-toned cabinetry, warm wood accents and open shelving, beautiful tile, generous counter space, and thoughtful extras—including carbonated water on tap. The main living space feels open and airy, with soaring ceilings and an oversized ceiling fan adding to the sense of scale. A sculptural light fixture anchors the dining area, while grand windows bring in great natural light throughout the day. Step outside to enjoy the Bay Trail, cross the bridge to Park Street for dinner, or stay home with a glass of wine on the deck and watch the boats go by. The thoughtful updates continue beyond the kitchen. The bathroom has been beautifully redone with rich wallpaper, dark cabinetry, brass fixtures, warm wood shelving and a ribbed-glass shower enclosure. Even the laundry room got the full treatment, with built-in cabinetry, counter space and its own bold wallpaper. Upstairs, the large primary suite offers plenty of room to spread out, along with a walk-in closet that provides generous storage. And then there is the location. Jingletown feels tucked away, yet the Bay Trail is right outside and Park Street’s restaurants, cafés, shops and markets are just across the bridge. Fruitvale BART and major commute routes are nearby, too. It is one of those rare East Bay combinations: an Oakland address with the estuary, easy access to the Bay Trail, and the Park Street lifestyle that makes Alameda so appealing. Pay Oakland, live Alameda—without giving up the character of Jingletown.
