Built in 1896 in Alameda's West End on a street filled with many picturesque vintage homes, this beautifully re-imagined, newly remodeled Victorian Queen Anne cottage seamlessly blends the original Victorian exterior with a 21st century interior designed for a contemporary lifestyle. This spacious home features 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, an open living room/dining room, an expansive remodeled kitchen, a large lower level family room, a laundry room and a large backyard deck for indoor/outdoor entertaining and/or relaxing. Features include an impressive gas fireplace, high ceilings and oak floors (main floor), ample natural light, and many colorful finishes and textures throughout. The lower level includes a separate entrance plus a second primary suite. Electrical/plumbing are in place to create a kitchenette, ideal for multi-generational living or potential short/long-term rental income. Large, sunlit backyard with refreshed/new landscaping and patios. Located just 2 blocks to the many amenities on downtown Webster St + the Alameda Farmers Market, this once modestly sized home is now a spacious property offering a compelling blend of character, a possible source of income, and owner-user potential - all behind an original iconic Victorian Queen Anne cottage exterior. Very special!
