A rare opportunity to restore and reimagine 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. Its surviving period details will appeal to a buyer who appreciates Alameda’s architectural heritage and has the vision to thoughtfully transform the property. The front residence offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, generous living and dining rooms, a kitchen and a second gathering space, providing a canvas for period restoration, modern updates or a blend of both. The separately configured 2-bedroom, 2-bath back unit has its own entrance, living area and kitchen, creating flexibility for multigenerational living, extended family, guests or an owner seeking additional income potential. 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 practicality. The back deck, sun deck and backyard provide room to create your own outdoor vision. Historic character, flexible living and room to make it your own. A distinctive Alameda property unlike any other, ready for its next chapter.
