About this home
Welcome to a charming slice of history at the edge of the Gold Coast in Alameda, where sophistication meets timeless elegance in this exquisite Eastlake cottage, built in 1885. This enchanting 2-story residence boasts 1,850 sq ft of living space, featuring three well-appointed bedrooms and three full bathrooms. Upon arrival, you will be captivated by the ornate Victorian façade adorned with beautifully painted gingerbread details framed by the canopies of mature trees. The upper floor reveals an array of architectural features, including tall ceilings adorned with plaster medallions, a majestic rectangular bay window accentuated by decorative brackets, ornate picture rails, doorframe molding, and dining room built-ins. Sunlight dances through the sash windows and highlights the rich wood floors, creating an inviting ambiance throughout. The heart of the home reveals a modernized kitchen, tastefully updated with newly painted cabinets complemented by champagne-hued hardware, luxurious quartz countertops and backsplash, and a sleek stainless steel sink. A sunny eating area off the kitchen overlooks the back patio. Don’t miss the handy laundry chute down to the laundry area. Newly repainted interiors, wrapped in decorator-designed color schemes, provide a fresh, contemporary touch while preserving the cottage's historic allure. Each of the three recently remodeled bathrooms speaks to refined taste, including one fitted with a classic claw-foot tub. An interior staircase leads down to a versatile office area, the second bathroom, and convenient laundry facilities. The refinished basement adds further value to this remarkable property, featuring a bedroom/living room, a cozy kitchenette, a 3rd bathroom, and its own separate entry—a perfect space for guest accommodation or a private retreat. Step outside to discover a private bricked patio, a serene outdoor oasis ideal for relaxation or entertaining. Amenities include an off-street parking spot, and an EV charge station, seamlessly integrating contemporary convenience with historic charm. Nestled in an enviable location near picturesque parks, sandy beaches, top-tier schools, a delightful bi-weekly farmers market, and the vibrant shops and restaurants along Webster Street, this captivating property offers easy access to public transport w/ buses to Bart, East Bay, and San Francisco.
Gold Coast, located between Central Avenue and Shore Line Drive, is a residential and waterfront Alameda neighborhood with grand early-20th-century homes and a palm-lined shoreline. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Park Street corridor near Central Avenue, where independent cafes, bakeries, and small boutiques set a polished, walkable rhythm. Architectural details lean Craftsman, Colonial Revival, and Tudor, with deep porches and mature street trees. Crab Cove Visitor Center and the shoreline paths at Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach frame daily routines with bay air and open views. The Webster Street Tube and nearby ferry service tie the island to the region without changing the calm streetscape.
