Central Alameda

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 gorgeous hardwood floors, vintage light fixtures, and exquisite built-ins that have stood the test of time.
On the main level, you’ll find a spacious living room, a library with a stately fireplace and custom built-ins, a formal dining room, and a kitchen overlooking the backyard, plus a half bath for convenience. Ascend the dramatic wood staircase to the second level, where four generously sized bedrooms and a full bath await.
The basement offers incredible versatility with multiple rooms—one of which was previously an office—alongside a laundry area, workshop, and the makings of another full bathroom.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped backyard features pavers, a majestic oak tree, and a detached two-car garage, while the long driveway provides ample off-street parking.
Centrally located in Alameda, this is an extraordinary opportunity for buyers, investors, or contractors to own a home with historical significance and timeless appeal. Whether restoring its vintage charm or modernizing it with a personal touch, this Leonard home is ready for its next chapter.
Leonard homes hold a special place in Alameda's architectural history. Built by the Leonard family, these homes are known for their quality craftsmanship, spacious layouts, and elegant details that set them apart from other period homes in the area. They often feature:
  • Distinctive woodwork, including rich hardwood floors, built-ins, and intricate moldings.
  • Spacious, well-proportioned rooms designed for both function and beauty.
  • Large windows that bring in natural light, enhancing their timeless appeal.
  • Fireplaces with decorative mantels, adding warmth and character.
  • Solid construction has helped these homes stand the test of time.
Because Alameda is known for its well-preserved historic homes, owning a Leonard home is often seen as a chance to be part of the city’s architectural legacy. They are sought after for their rare combination of charm, craftsmanship, and history, making them appealing to buyers who appreciate classic homes with a story to tell.
