Ask a questionAbout Bob Shannon
We moved within Alameda but left our Island Bungalow home intact for you to enjoy. All of our furnishings from rugs to dressers remain for our guests. Our home is your home. A Craftsman charmer through and through, with added modern upgrades. Born and raised in San Francisco, feel free to ask Bob questions about the S.F. Bay Area. He designed a day trip that will take you through the best of San Francisco.
Bob Shannon purchased this House in 1992
Why Bob Shannon chose Alameda
Located in SF Bay Area with wonderful marine climate. Called 'Iowa by the Sea' for the charm and friendliness of this beach community. 20 mins. to SF city life. Established as a Summer retreat for the San Francisco elite, homes of Craftsman architecture are prevalent. The kitchen and baths are remodeled with modern features. Enjoy a garden of 85 yr. old antique roses, make lemonade from fresh-picked Meyer lemons in the yard, watch passers-by from the porch and sit by the cozy fireplace in an overstuffed chair... seriously, I could go on... This house, in this friendly neighborhood make coming home something to look forward to. All our guests say so.
What makes this House unique
Location, location, location in Alameda's prestigious East End. This 6 mile island gives you a home base close to everything via the bus stop on the corner, drive, BART or ferry to San Francisco, AT&T Park (Giants baseball), Embarcadero, street cars, Alcatraz, Angel Island, Tiburon/Sausalito or Napa/Sonoma Valley. Or simply stay and relax. Our guests love this Island Bungalow in San Francisco Bay.
