This beautiful Victorian home is your opportunity to put your style on one of Alameda's beautiful Victorian homes. Located in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Alameda, this home has many of its original architectural details and finishes intact and ready to be taken back to their former beauty. There are leaded windows, hardwood floors, detailed door and window moldings, and other period finishes ready to be uncovered. This home does need work but you could create your own spaces that work best for you and your family.
This Colonial Revival home built in 1896 was built by historic builders Felix Marcuse and Jacob Remmel, and it was built for Miss Alice Chipman, the doughter of W.W. Chipman, one of the co-purchasers and co-founders of the city of Alameda. (see links below for more information).
The expansive floorplan includes 3 oversized rooms downstairs, a formal living and dining room and another room that could become your new gourmet kitchen, there is enough room here for your imagination to create whatever you'd like. The upstairs rooms are sunny and bright, you could create the spaces that work best for you here, maybe a master suite, several bedrooms, or whatever works best for you.
The interior and exterior were recently painted, bringing out many of the details you'll have to work with.
