About This Home
Built by the respected Alameda designer/builder William Dufour in 1912, this spectacular Colonial Revival home combines an impressive exterior with a spacious interior filled with stunning vintage architectural features. Situated on a large .27-acre lot, the home maintains the original versatile floor plan featuring 5BR, 1+ BA, formal living and dining rooms, a large kitchen and butler's pantry, a main floor family room and a home office (possible 5th and 6th bedrooms). Beautifully preserved original details include 10-ft tray ceilings w/ornate moldings, hardwood floors, gorgeous built-in sideboards accented w/leaded and stained glass (2), oversized windows, a coffered DR ceiling, and large rooms throughout the home w/beautifully crafted wood trim and bright, natural light. A high-ceilinged attic and a basement both provide potential for additional finished square footage expansion/conversion (1,041 SF and 1,660 SF, respectively). A private lot of this size is unusual in central Alameda, and includes a detached 2-car garage, a patio, a wisteria-covered pergola and mature landscaping. Perfect for gracious entertaining, or simply appreciating the home's many beautiful features and important architectural heritage, this home represents a rare Alameda home ownership opportunity.
