About this home
Step into a piece of Alameda’s history with this charming stand-alone cottage, built in 1912 by the acclaimed architects Rousseau & Rousseau. Nestled just steps from the Bay, this sweet home offers the perfect balance of timeless character and modern versatility. Inside, the light-filled layout features one bedroom and one bath, an open living and kitchen space, and a large attic that invites endless possibilities. The private yard, complete with a mature Meyer lemon tree, creates a serene outdoor retreat where you can savor the Bay breeze in peace. This cottage is more than just a home—it’s an opportunity. Operated successfully as both a Superhost Airbnb and through Furnish Finder, it has proven potential as a source of short- and long-term rental income. Equally suited as a personal sanctuary, guest house, or smart investment, the property also carries the advantage of attractive tax benefits through depreciation and expense deductions. Set at the end of a quiet row of four cottages, the home feels private and tucked away, while still being connected to all that makes Alameda’s West End so desirable. Stroll to Crab Cove and Crown Beach, spend weekends at the Webster Street Farmer’s Market, or catch the ferry from Seaplane Lagoon for a quick 20-minute trip to downtown SF.
