Property Description

Historic soul. Extraordinary potential. Everyday livability. Behind its stately Colonial Revival façade lies a home designed not just to impress, but to be lived in. Built by acclaimed Alameda builder William Dufour, this remarkable residence offers nearly 3,500 square feet (per public records) of warmth, character, and possibility on an exceptionally rare quarter-acre lot. Grand yet inviting, the home balances architectural beauty with comfortable daily living. Formal rooms rich with original craftsmanship give way to spaces where life naturally unfolds—an eat-in kitchen connected by a classic butler's pantry, a generous den, five spacious bedrooms, and oversized windows that fill the home with light. Outside, the private backyard feels worlds away from the city, offering room to entertain beneath the pergola, garden, play, or simply unwind beneath mature trees. For those who dream of putting their own stamp on a truly special home, the opportunities are extraordinary. The expansive attic and basement invite future creativity, while the home's scale provides flexibility rarely found in Alameda. Some homes preserve the past. This one is ready to embrace the next chapter.
