According to well-known local historians, 19th century real estate developers Felix Marcuse and Julius Remmel built only 350 Victorian homes in Alameda during the town’s boom years of 1889-1899, with many still standing today. According to the Alameda Historical Museum, 2160 Alameda Ave was built in 1891 and is one of Marcuse and Remmel’s earlier Queen Anne homes. Today, this elegant residence retains a largely unchanged exterior with many classic Queen features that work together to create a unique, eye-catching facade that sets it apart from its neighbors. Front porches, fancifully cut and pierced frieze boards, scrolled brackets, sawn balusters, and braced arches work together with iconic Victorian gingerbread trim to create personality and charm to this historic home.

The home’s interior provides a showcase of original Queen Anne details blended with thoughtfully implemented updates to complement a modern lifestyle. Stately living and dining rooms feature ten-foot ceilings with plaster center medallions, picture rails, and oversized bay windows with Victorian trim and stained glass transoms. The dining room fireplace has a handsome gas stove insert, and an elegantly carved wood mantel that takes pride of place in this gracious room. The sunny, updated kitchen sits behind the dining room and includes a white subway tile backsplash, a charming vintage enamel range, and loads of counter prep and kitchen storage space. A full bathroom with a shower is located off the kitchen, next to a door that leads to the fabulous backyard with an expansive patio, a lawn, raised vegetable/flower beds, apple, cherry plum and citrus trees, and a garden/potting shed.

The home’s three bedrooms and second full bathroom (with a clawfoot tub!) are located on the second level. While each bedroom has distinctive characteristics, they all have bright, natural light, ten-foot ceilings, picture rails, vintage doors and hardware, and the original decorative door and window trim.

Located on a block filled with Victorian treasures only blocks from downtown Park Street, Trader Joe’s and South Shore Center’s many amenities, 2160 Alameda Ave offers a convenient central Alameda location with easy access to Alameda Beach, Encinal Market, shoreline trails and the SF Ferry, and so much more. This fabulous Victorian jewel offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a piece of Alameda history!
