Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although originally built in 1905, the property is in mint condition following extensive high-end renovations and meticulous maintenance by contractor owners. The home features a gourmet kitchen with soapstone counters and stainless KitchenAid appliances, luxury bathrooms with Carrara marble and Silestone, new energy-efficient windows, and fresh interior/exterior paint, requiring no immediate maintenance.
Elementary School: Donald D. Lum Elementary School (9/10). High School: Alameda High School (9/10).
Owned and meticulously maintained by contractors for 40 years, this home features high-end upgrades including custom cabinetry with Blum hardware, soapstone counters, and energy-efficient windows that blend historic charm with modern durability.
The property includes a fully permitted backyard office and a spacious family room with built-in desk space, offering a rare and functional layout for remote professionals.
At 3,300 square feet, the lot is relatively small for a 2,000+ square foot home, which may limit outdoor recreational space for buyers seeking a large yard.
Situated on Lincoln Avenue, a primary thoroughfare in Alameda, the property may experience higher ambient street noise and traffic volume compared to interior neighborhood streets.
Step into timeless character redefined by master craftsmanship. Lovingly upgraded and maintained by its 40-year contractor owners, this expanded 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom 1905 Craftsman offers a seamless blend of original historic charm and modern utility. Freshly painted inside and out, the home showcases meticulously preserved period woodwork upstairs and an expertly matched 2002 main-floor addition. Every square foot reflects intentional design, from new energy- and noise-efficient windows, custom blinds, and refinished hardwoods to custom cabinetry featuring heavy-duty Blum hardware. The living room welcomes you with original woodwork, bay windows, a built-in window seat, and custom cabinetry with stained-glass doors complete with a built-in Bose speaker system. Adjacent, the dining room retains its original board-and-batten walls and a refurbished hutch. The gourmet kitchen features soapstone counters, a country sink, Kraft-Maid and custom cabinetry with smart storage solutions, and stainless steel KitchenAid appliances. The primary suite serves as a luxurious retreat, featuring a custom dresser, built-in jewelry box, Carrara marble side tables, and a fluted glass privacy door separating the sleeping and sitting areas. Its ensuite bathroom boasts rich Carrara marble, a deep soaking tub, bidet, and a custom glass shower. Downstairs, the family room offers built-in office space and expansive storage closets, served by a spacious full bathroom with Silestone finishes. Thoughtfully equipped with upstairs ceiling fans, a functional laundry room with utility sink and LG appliances, an attached garage, and off-street parking for three vehicles, this home leaves no detail overlooked. Outside, an exceptional retreat awaits: a landscaped yard, deck, old-brick patio, gazebo, built-in private seating, outdoor storage, and a fully permitted backyard office ideal for remote work. Positioned in one of Alameda’s most desirable neighborhoods, this location offers an unmatched Bay Area lifestyle. Walk or bike just blocks to vibrant Webster Street and Park Street dining, local boutiques, and the historic West End Arts District.
