Beautiful Victorian Home- In the heart of Alameda. Minutes from San Francisco | House in Alameda

Don't be fooled by other listings that show a beautiful Victorian home but you are renting the basement apartment.... this rental is for the house.
This lovely home was built in 1885 and offers Victorian spendor along with all the amenities for an enjoyable stay.
Alameda offers easy access to San Francisco and many other Bay Area locations including UC Berkeley (Go Bears). Oakland Airport is less than 5 miles away. Getting to San Francisco is quick and comfortable - use the ferry (from the Main St terminal), bus, the express bus to downtown SF or to BART is only 3 blocks away. You can also drive- getting to the I-880 freeway and the Bay Bridge is quick - driving to downtown SF takes 25-30 minutes outside of rush hour. But the ferry is a much nicer way to go and you don’t have to park in SF (free parking at the ferry terminal in Alameda)
The main floor:
This stunning house features 12 foot ceilings in the formal rooms and the master bedroom. The front parlor features formal seating while the back parlor offers casual seating to visit or watch TV.

The dining room seats 6. The china cabinet is stocked with formal china amd the sodeboard has noce flatware should you wish to have a formal dinner – but since you are on vacation you might prefer to visit one of the many great restaurants that Alameda has to offer. Many within easy walking distance of the house.
The more modern kitchen has a fridge/freezer with ice maker, dishwasher, sink with garbage disposal, gas stove with a large oven, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker and all the utensils a well-appointed kitchen should have.
The master bedroom has a king size bed and a large armoire as well as a dresser; the attached bathroom (also accessible from the second bedroom) has an extra-long tub/shower with 2 shower heads (each separately controlled).
The 2nd bedroom has a Queen sized bed and lots of closet space as well as a dresser. This bedroom has direct access to the main floor full bath as well as to the 1/2 bathmi
To sum up the bedroom/bathrooms on the main floor there are 2 bedroom and one full bath that both bedrooms have doors into. There is also a 1/2 bath off the queen bedroom so you can lock the queen room door access to the full bath if you dont want to run into each other in the middle of thr night ;) There is also a door to the hall (yes there are 3 door into one bathroom! Remeber this house was built in 1885 so just having a bathroom inside was super cool! There is also another full bath in the attic.
The Attic:
The 3rd bedroom and a bathroom are on the top floor (former attic area)
The 3rd bedroom sits at the top of the stairs and features 2 twin beds. This room is loft style so there is no door at the top or bottom of the stairs. it is set apart from the other rooms enough for privacy but if you have small ones and need a closed space the 2 downstairs bedrooms have doors that can be closed.
The full attic bathroom features a beautiful walk-in shower with a calcite wall and floors.
Like most homes in Alamed the house does not have central air conditioning - Alameda has great weather but on the RARE summer day when Alameda is hot the attic room is warmer than the downstairs rooms- a free-standing AC Unit is available should the bay breezes not be enough to cool the room down. There are also fans to assist the lovely bay breezes in the the home and I'm more than happy to come by and show you how to take advantage of Alameda nice evning breezes. Even in the summer in Alameda you will need sweater most evenings!
