Historic soul. Extraordinary potential. Everyday livability. Behind its stately Colonial Revival façade lies a home designed not just to impress, but to be lived in. Built by acclaimed Alameda builder William Dufour, this remarkable residence offers nearly 3,500 square feet (per public records) of warmth, character, and possibility on an exceptionally rare quarter-acre lot.
