Built in 1882
Switching gears from ultra ratchet to ultra classy, here’s this 1882 Italianate that has miraculously only switched owners once in 140 years. There’s nothing over the top about it per se, but it pops with perfect Gilded Age throwback vibes and has insane details. All it needs is a Victorian ghost in a translucent white dress descending the staircase for the total package.
Here’s the realtor’s description.
“Iconic & Unforgettable, meet the “The Anthony House”, one of Alameda’s flagship Victorians, ca. 1880, a quintessential example of period Italianate architecture. Changing hands only once in its history, from the original Anthony family to the current owners, this sprawling Gold Coast property occupies over a third of an acre, including whimsical English ‘natural’ gardens and a 2-story carriage house (built in 1976) suitable as a studio, gym, car barn or ADU. Revered by artists & architects, the gilded profile features Corinthian columns & double tiered bay windows that bring in extra light. Soaring ceilings, zealously preserved architectural details, &romantic history abound in this singular property. Full basement with room for expansion/storage, new foundation, modernized kitchen w/Viking range. From a bygone era of quality craftsmanship & pride of ownership, this dream opportunity for any preservationist, design buff, or history lover is an amazing epic ready for its next chapter.”
