Historically Significant Victorian Beauty in Central Alameda
This stunning Victorian beauty is recognized on the Alameda Historical Building Registry as one of Alameda's vintage architectural jewels! Built in 1879*, this elegant home maintains its elaborate Victorian exterior, and boasts an interior that's been thoughtfully re-imagined for a 21st century lifestyle while preserving many of the original home's character and charm. Spacious at nearly 2,200 square feet, the home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living room, dining room and an updated eat-in kitchen on the main level, while a garden-level in-law suite has a large flex room, a family room, a laundry/bonus room and a 1/2 bath. A semi-attached garage on the main level provides space for excess storage, a workshop or parking for one car.
Built for Alameda's distinguished Power family in the Italianate Cottage high basement style, the largely unchanged exterior retains many of the elaborate Victorian features that gives this gracious home such eye-catching appeal. The facade includes a full width front sitting porch, beneath oversized arched windows, and has many Victorian design features including a spindle railing and columns adorned with Victorian brackets.
The home's handsome front door opens into a large room that was once the front parlor and is now a dramatic living room. Oversized Victorian windows provide abundant natural light and a view of the picturesque front porch, while eleven-foot ceilings throughout this upper floor are embellished with ornate center medallions that complement striking contemporary light fixtures. An open doorway leads to a flex space that can be used as a dining room, an expansive home office, or a play area. The spacious, recently updated eat-in kitchen sits behind the dining room, and includes new stylish light fixtures and quartz counters beneath a white metro-tile backsplash. Completely open to the kitchen, an open sun porch includes a wall of windows overlooking the backyard and makes a sunny, welcoming space to gather around a dining table.
Three sun-filled bedrooms on this level are situated to the left of the public rooms. The two front bedrooms feature large Victorian windows, elaborate crown moulding, new carpeting, and carved ceiling medallions paired with dramatic new light fixtures. An updated Jack and Jill bathroom connects the middle bedroom with a third bedroom situated off the kitchen. Part of a more modern addition, the bedroom is a perfect size for a lovely guest room, nursery or home office with pretty backyard views.
The 691-square-foot lower level includes interior stairway access to the main upper level plus private front and rear entrances. This finished space includes a large flex room, a living/family room, a half bathroom and a large laundry/bonus room (with possible conversion to a full kitchen). A semi-attached garage on this level provides even more additional room for livable square footage. Create a duplex for a fully sufficient in-law apartment suitable for multi-generational living or rental income, or enjoy the home as a spacious single family residence with plenty of room to grow!
1524 Lincoln Ave offers the unique opportunity to become the most recent stewards of an historically significant Alameda property. With a great Central Alameda location that gives easy access to freeways, the Webster/Posey Tube, downtown Webster Street amenities, Jean Sweeney Open Space and Alameda Landing, this gracious vintage home is truly exceptional.
