Live in the heart of Alameda in the architectural majesty of the historic Krusi Estate – an 8+BD/7++BA Queen Anne mansion, including a 5+BD/5.5BA main home (with 5 ensuite bedrooms), 2BD/2BA apartment, Studio/1BA apartment, carriage house (with half bath), and bonus structure. Built for a preeminent Alameda family in 1886 and rumored to have housed Jim Morrison for a summer in the late 50s, the home offers the glamor and comfort of another era with peerless woodwork of mahogany, oak, and redwood, stained, leaded, and beveled glass work, and a timeless huge kitchen.
From the iron-gated garden with a stately palm, enter your home up its stately front steps or park under the home’s gorgeous arched portico and side entrance. Inside you’ll find spacious and elegant common areas flooded with light from the grand windows, chevron inlaid floors, period fireplaces, and dentil crown molding. Tucked away for privacy and quiet, the upstairs is a sleeping wing along with plenty of space to work from home. Wonderful indoor/outdoor living awaits outside the kitchen in the lush backyard with trees full of avocados, lemons, and pomelos, a level lawn for play, a basketball half-court, and a patio space for entertaining. The carriage house with a half bath is ready for recreation, work, or as potentially another ADU. The back freestanding bonus structure offers space for a private studio or office.
Earn income from your rental apartments, lease rooms, Airbnb, or invite an au pair or in-laws live in - the possibilities are many. The estate is blocks away from top-rated schools and the amenities, shopping, dining, and entertainment of Park Street. Newly painted, with newer roof, some radiant heat, new awnings, some modern electrical and plumbing and surprisingly low pest report. Live in old-world luxury with all the conveniences of modern day out your front door!
