Enter into a piece of Alameda history with this stunning 1895 Victorian duplex, masterfully crafted by renowned architects Marcuse & Remmel. Originally built as a single-family residence and thoughtfully converted into a charming income-generating duplex, this property masterfully blends timeless elegance with modern comfort. Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street in the heart of Alameda’s historic district, the spacious upper unit is currently move-in ready. It boasts a beautifully updated kitchen and bathroom, newly refinished hardwood floors, ornate plaster ceiling medallions, classic pocket doors, and meticulously restored original grape leaf moldings — all preserving the home’s rich architectural character. Whether you’re seeking a turnkey investment property or an opportunity to offset today’s higher interest rates by living in one unit while renting the other, this duplex offers the perfect solution.
