Property Description

TRANSPARENT PRICING! A rare opportunity to own an 1894 Victorian-era Alameda home with remarkable architectural character and unusually flexible living options. Ornate turned-wood porch details, decorative exterior and interior trim, stained-glass windows, wood floors, impressive 11-foot ceilings and a distinctive cast-iron wood-burning stove give this home a true sense of place. The surviving period details offer a beautiful foundation for a buyer who appreciates Alameda’s architectural heritage and wants to make the home their own. The front residence offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, generous living and dining rooms, a kitchen and a second gathering space, offering flexibility for everyday living, entertaining, working from home or accommodating extended family. The separately configured 2-bedroom, 2-bath back unit has its own entrance, living area and kitchen, creating exceptional possibilities for multigenerational living, extended family, guests or potential additional income. An interior stairwell connects the spaces and could potentially be enclosed for greater separation, subject to buyer investigation and approvals. Separate utility meters serve the two living spaces. A large lower-level bonus room, 2-car garage, long driveway and additional parking add practical value, while the back deck, shared sun deck and backyard provide room to create an outdoor setting tailored to your lifestyle. Architectural character, flexible living and uncommon utility come together in a distinctive Alameda property with the potential to serve many different chapters of life.
