1272 Caroline St, Alameda, CA 94501

Built in 1893 by renowned English architect Ernest Coxhead as the summer home for the Whittell family, 1272 Caroline's early Arts & Crafts style whisks you away to a hidden European villa. This exceptional 4+BD/2.5BA 4,501 square foot home is a masterwork tucked away discreetly off the street, making it a uniquely private Alameda Gold Coast home. Features include a stunning two-story entry, massive open living room/dining with large picture window to enclosed solarium, ground floor study, eat-in kitchen with walk-in pantry, two side by side suites with walk-in closets and dressing/wash areas, a third en-suite bedroom on the second level, a large laundry room on bedroom level (convert to another bedroom?), a crow's nest office on the third floor flanked by finished storage areas (rare Alameda bay views on this level), a three car garage, an expansive private yard with playhouse, and an original painting by Fredric Yates that is said to have been with the home since its creation.
