Turn-Key duplex two blocks from Lincoln Park – with attached garages and fireplaces
Here’s your opportunity to break into Alameda’s East End market with a completely updated duplex that delivers serious value. 3241 Briggs Avenue offers everything savvy investors and buyers want: turn-key condition, strong rental potential, and that coveted East End location, all at a price point that actually makes sense.
Both units were just fully renovated. Fresh exterior paint sets the tone, while inside you’ll find brand-new kitchens, updated bathrooms, and modern fixtures throughout. This is move-in ready for tenants or family members from day one.
Unit A gives you two-story living with practical features that tenants appreciate. Internal garage access keeps you dry during those Bay Area rain showers, while hardwood floors flow through each room creating warmth and continuity. The updated kitchen features white quartz countertops that look great and actually last, clean white cabinets, and brand-new stainless appliances. Two bedrooms upstairs provide private retreats, and the wood-burning fireplace downstairs creates that cozy California atmosphere everyone loves.
Unit B presents single-level living, which opens your tenant pool significantly. Downsizers, those with mobility considerations, and people who just prefer everything on one floor will appreciate this layout. The kitchen matches Unit A’s fresh aesthetic with the same white quartz counters, white cabinets, and new stainless appliances. The wood-burning fireplace adds character and warmth.
The 3,614 square foot lot has a unique trapezoid shape that creates interesting possibilities. The front area offers space to create individual yard areas for each unit, adding privacy and outdoor appeal through thoughtful landscaping.
Let’s talk about what makes this a smart investment at this price point. You’re getting the same top quality updates as much pricier East End properties, the same desirable location two blocks from Lincoln Park, and the same strong rental market. What you’re not getting is unnecessary extras that drive up the price without increasing your returns. This is efficient, well-executed investment real estate.
The location delivers everything that makes the East End special. Two blocks from Lincoln Park means baseball fields, pickleball courts, and community pool access. Twelve years of top-rated schools nearby make this attractive to family tenants. The golf course, South Shore Shopping Center, Oakland Airport, and ferry to San Francisco keep urban conveniences accessible while maintaining that relaxed island lifestyle Alameda is known for.
The neighbors throw an annual block party together – real community, not just people who live near each other.
Who benefits most from this property? First-time investors who want quality but need a realistic entry price. Buyers looking to live in one unit while building equity through the other. Downsizers who want single-level living (Unit B) plus investment income. Families seeking multigenerational living with true independence between units. All of these scenarios work beautifully here.
The combination of complete updates, strong East End location, flexible living configurations, and smart pricing creates an opportunity that’s increasingly rare in today’s market. You get Alameda’s coveted lifestyle and proven rental demand without overpaying for square footage you don’t need.
This is how you build wealth in Bay Area real estate: buy quality in a proven location at a price that leaves room for appreciation and strong rental returns from day one.
