About this House

“Captain’s Corner” presents a rare, once-in-a-generation opportunity. This spectacular Gold Coast Queen Anne Victorian designed and built by Joseph A. Leonard, sits in the heart of Alameda’s desirable Leonardville Heritage location on “Captain’s Row,” only two homes from the lagoon on a quiet tree-lined street with other stately historic homes. The home has been featured on HGTV, in books, paintings, and historic tours.
Exquisitely and tastefully restored by the current owners from foundation to roof, the home invites you to a gracious entrance with coffered redwood ceilings and hardwood floors. The foyer flows into the main floor rooms featuring beautiful quarter-sawn curly redwood door and window trims. Natural light floods the house through the many tall windows. The living room’s two sets of pocket doors offer privacy, without compromising the open floor concept to the adjoining family, and dining rooms. Many of the ornate ceiling rosettes were hand-painted by Smithsonian artist, Mimi Stuart.
The main kitchen features a six-burner Heartland gas range and oven, large sink, disposal, refrigerator, and plenty of storage in the handsome Pulaski designed cupboards and open shelving. The pantry kitchen adjacent to the main kitchen and dining room features stunning custom-built mahogany lower cabinets forming two deep-toned marble-topped peninsulas that open into the dining room. The mahogany uppers with glass doors offer an abundance of storage for fine glassware. The large sink, disposal, and smooth-top electric oven range and dishwasher work perfectly as a bar, warming and serving area for family and guests who love to be in the kitchen with their hosts.
5,429 Square feet gives you room to breathe. The main house spans into 6 spacious bedrooms, 2 baths, 3 washrooms, natural hardwood, and imported marble floors. Tall ceilings throughout. Room for exercise or office.
From the kitchen, you can walk down a few steps to a large private fenced back yard with bricked patio with mature avocado, citrus, and apple trees, for BBQ and dining al fresco. On the other side of the organic garden you can pick fresh vegetables, peppers, tomatoes, and herbs.
The new owner can enjoy this magnificent home as a single-family residence with ample room for a home office, gym, entertainment center and guest rooms on the ground floor, or rent out the ground floor as a fully functional two-bedroom apartment with a separate entrance. No structural changes required.
Modern appliances include a front load washer/dryer.
GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT, AKA “Captain’s Quarters:”
This 1700 Square foot renovated ground floor apartment with private entrance, offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, walk-in closet, lots of windows for sun-filled natural light.

GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
We opted to move out of our home school for several reasons, including low average test scores and large school population. Franklin has been a fantastic fit for our son, now a third grader. The teachers in earlier grades were not the best, in our opinion, but so second and third grade experience have been fantastic. The teachers are very caring, the staff is accessible, and the after school program is great. Our son has made many good friends, been academically challenged, and grown up surrounded by a vey supportive PTA community that provides for those school items outside of the traditional school budget. We feel very fortunate that we are Franklin Falcons.

"Lovely architecture to admire while walking the dog. Nearby parks and beaches are only 6 blocks away. Downside is that dogs aren’t allowed on the sand but you can walk on the sidewalks overlooking the water. Hardly any traffic so the streets are quiet. People with dogs give other dogs lots of space. Rare to see dog waste not cleaned up-though it happens. "

"I’ve only been living here for a month now and I’m very happy about the walkability around here. I’ve been living in Tx for the past 5 years living in the burbs right outside Houston where there’s no public transportation, sidewalks, bike lanes etc. Tx isn’t pedestrian friendly at all so it’s good being back in CA."

"It’s awesome! I live right on a lagoon and I have a kayak I take out on it. The beach is 3 blocks and Park St is a 15 min walk. Super safe and neighborhood is friendly. Flat and great for biking and running. Traffic is better here than most places in Bay. I take a ferry to SF for work which is a wonderful way to commute. Love it!"

"Alameda's close proximity to San Francisco makes it convenient to Silicon Valley too, but at a fraction of the price. Super cute older homes and a close knit neighborhood feel is felt throughout the island. We don't have cross traffic being an island which gives us an identity like no other city in the entire San Francisco metropolitan area. As for the city itself, Alameda is safe, has good schools, is charming quaint, and quiet with plenty of shops, restaurants, movie theatre, walking and bike trails. I've lived all over the bay area and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else but Alameda."
