Wonderful East End Victorian Home

Located in Alameda — Alameda

Style: Victorian

This 3 bedroom, 2 bath Victorian cottage was originally built in 1890 by Cyrus A. Brown, one of the prominent builders of the time. The current owners have restored and improved many components of this home since their purchase and have opened the floor plan for today's lifestyle.

The main floor of this home has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, an open living area and the kitchen. Many of the original details are intact, including the ceiling rosettes, lots of original window and door trim, some older light fixtures, just lots of charm and character. There is another bedroom in the attic, too.

The many improvements to this home include a newer plumbing and ecletrical systems, dual paned windows, newer furnace, almost all systems have been upgraded or improved. The foundation has been replaced and there are plans to add another 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a large family room at this level. The plumbing for radiant heating for this level is already in the floors, other bathroom plumbing is in the floors, it is ready to be finished. There are also a lot of room in the tall attic space that could potentially be finished into living space as well. This home could have over 3000 s.f. of living space with all of its expansion possibilities.

This corner lot has a large backyard and sideyard, and at the back is a refurbished 2 car garage with room in the driveway for more off street parking.

The East End location is great for schools, shopping, and restaurants, all of the great amenities of Alameda are just a few minutes away. Park Street is nearby, as well as Crown Beach, parks, South Shore shopping, it's all just a few minutes from here.
