2135 Alameda Avenue

Pretty as a picture on the outside, the exterior has had few changes since it was built in 1886 and retains most of the fabulous Victorian cottage features that make it so visually appealing. But it’s the wonderfully preserved vintage details on the interior that make this such a special home! Spectacular living and dining rooms on the left of the formal foyer have beautiful Victorian detailing such as the original trim on the oversized windows, decorative picture rails, intricately carved brackets adorning the bay window transom, decorative lighting medallions on the 12-foot ceilings, and elegant oak floors. The bay windows in both of these lovely rooms provide plenty of natural light through the original leaded glass windows. The large, eat-in kitchen sits behind the dining room, and features beadboard wainscoting, an oak floor, new quartz counters, and even a fantastic 1950s white enamel Wedgewood stove! In true Victorian cottage style, the home’s well-sized bedrooms are situated next to each other, from front to back, starting with the large primary bedroom to the right of the foyer. All of the bedrooms have 12-foot ceilings with new light fixtures, refinished Douglas fir floors, and tall, oversized windows for lots of natural light. The primary bedroom shares an updated connecting bathroom with the second bedroom, and the back bedroom has an en-suite half bath.

With two private street entrances, the expansive lower level provides an ideal in-law suite or a short/long term rental opportunity, and has dual pane windows and new carpeting throughout. The floor plan consists of a front living or family room, a large bedroom to the left that looks out to the pretty front garden, two additional bedrooms separated by a bathroom, and an updated, eat-in kitchen. A laundry room at the back of this level has stairs that lead to the upstairs kitchen, making it easy to incorporate both levels into a single family residence, or keep the spaces separate for extended guests/family or to generate rental income.

2135 Alameda Ave provides the rare opportunity to acquire a charming vintage home with stunning Victorian details and a flexible floor plan, all in a great Bronze Coast location just two blocks to downtown Park St. After 67 years in one family, it’s time for new memories to be created in this much-loved, move-in ready home.
