This beautiful five bedroom, two and one-half bath Queen Anne Victorian is a sight to behold! Located at the edge of Alameda s Gold Coast, this distinctive property is a pleasing blend of fabulous updates and original charm. Built in 1890 by A.W. Pattiani & Company, it features gorgeous oak hardwood floors, attractive period light fixtures and chandeliers, and striking crown molding, picture rail molding, and window molding. Guests are welcomed through an attractive stained glass-accented front door and are immediately drawn into its splendor. The grand stairway radiates charm from its stunning stained glass window to its gleaming wood stairs and white railing; and leads to the upper level which includes four bedrooms and one full bath. The formal living room, with an abundance of natural light, leads to the formal dining room, with an elaborate decorative fireplace and mantel. The gourmet-style kitchen has been tastefully updated with a stainless stove and refrigerator, and features stone-tiled counters and a walk-in pantry located just off the kitchen. A delightful half bath completes the main level. Its highly desirable finished full basement includes the fifth bedroom, an updated full bath, a spacious family room, and additional storage space. Other upgrades include a newer concrete-bolted foundation, newer roof (2000), updated electrical (200 amp), updated copper plumbing (in approximately 90% of the home), custom-designed wrought iron fencing, and exterior and interior custom painting and color selection. An attached two-car garage (wired for 220 amp electrical service), a private back yard with a tool shed and access to lower living area, and automatic sprinkler systems in the front, side, and back yards add to the desirability of this fine home.
