4 bedrooms | 4 baths | 2,851 square feet
Built in 1893
Okay, so I know the price tags on these houses have been pretty steep recently. But I couldn’t pass this Victorian Queen Anne banger up. Everything is in top notch shape with insane details, including hand-painted crown moldings and medallions, anaglypta (I had to look that up) wall coverings, and pocket doors. And check out that vintage pull-chain toilet!
Here’s the realtor’s description.
“This Queen Anne is possibly the most photographed, most celebrated Victorian in Alameda. She’s been featured in sculpture, paintings, on city phone books and websites. And that’s just the exterior, with its layers of period adornments and a wraparound, turreted porch. Built in 1893, this 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home has a full unfinished basement. Lovingly restored by current owners to preserve original details like stained-glass windows, anaglypta wall coverings and pocket doors, then adding hand-painted crown moldings and medallions, dressing every room with richly toned Bradbury & Bradbury wallpapers. Updates include electrical, on-demand water heater, foundation, roof and front porch. The sunny eat-in kitchen was redesigned for modern convenience. The large backyard garden is apropos of the era with Victorian-knot hedges, roses, etc. leading to a detached two-car garage. The central location is perfect for easy access to beaches, parks, schools, shopping and public transportation.”
