Property Description
Every so often a home ownership opportunity arises in a community that is unlike any other, and The Webster Home at 1238 Versailles Ave is an outstanding example. Built in 1854, this historically significant Gothic Revival home is the oldest documented single family residence in the city of Alameda, built during the California Gold Rush at a time in which Alameda had fewer than 500 residents and only 4 years after California became a state. Now, this one-of-a-kind home is available to a new owner and features 6BR, 4.5BA, a formal LR, DR, kitchen, several bonus rooms/spaces + a detached studio with a full BA. Set back from the street under a canopy of old redwood + coast live oak trees, the home's vintage exterior offers classic Gothic Revival architectural features that give the home a storybook aesthetic + wonderful curb appeal. Inside details include wood floors, a fireplace w/a Victorian-style insert, stunning Bradbury & Bradbury wallpaper and loads of Gothic charm throughout. Close to highly ranked schools, and easy access to Park St amenities + just 1/2 blk to transbay/crosstown buses. This home is not just a residence - it's a standing testament to Alameda's earliest days, & a chance to take stewardship of a piece of California's architectural and cultural heritage.
