Property Description

Step into this expansive Victorian Leonard home, a rare piece of Alameda's history, offering 2,146 sq. ft. of living space on a 5,400 sq. ft. lot. Built with the craftsmanship and character that define Leonard homes, this property showcases hardwood floors, vintage light fixtures, and exquisite built-ins that have stood the test of time. On the main level, find a spacious living room, a library with a stately fireplace, custom built-ins, a formal dining room, and a kitchen overlooking the backyard, plus a half bath. Ascend the dramatic staircase to the second level, where four large bedrooms and a full bath await. The basement offers incredible versatility with multiple rooms-one previously an office-alongside a laundry area, workshop, and the makings of another full bath. Outside, the landscaped backyard features pavers, a majestic oak tree, a detached two-car garage, and a long driveway for ample parking. Centrally located in Alameda, this is a rare chance to own a historical Leonard home. Whether restoring its vintage charm or modernizing it, this home is ready for its next chapter.
