Beautifully restored and thoughtfully refreshed, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Victorian offers 1,985 square feet of versatile living space in one of Alameda’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Rich Victorian character blends seamlessly with modern updates throughout the home, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere filled with charm, flexibility, and functionality.
The main level features an open-concept living space designed for effortless everyday living and entertaining, with the living room, dining area, and beautifully updated kitchen flowing together around a large center island perfect for gathering with friends and family. Just off the kitchen, a sunny deck creates the ideal setting for morning coffee or evening barbecues. Also on the main level is an oversized bedroom currently used as a family room, complete with a walk-in closet and adjacent full bathroom, offering excellent flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private home office. A custom staircase leads from this level to the finished attic, thoughtfully configured into multiple bonus spaces ideal for a creative studio, workout area, playroom, media room, or additional work-from-home flexibility.
Downstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms, including a generous primary-style suite with a soaking tub, walk-in closet, and sliding glass doors opening to a lush and private backyard patio surrounded by mature greenery. This level also includes a powder room, finished one-car garage, and access to the backyard retreat. Off-street parking adds additional convenience.
Versatile, inviting, and full of character, 1120 Chestnut Street offers a rare opportunity to enjoy classic Alameda architecture paired with modern livability, all just moments from Saint Joseph’s School and some of the island’s favorite local hot spots.

Neighborhood
Alameda began as a peninsula just south of Oakland and is now an East Bay island with a laid-back feeling all its own. You will find a variety of homes and condos for sale in Alameda including cozy apartments, spacious single family homes that have been fully renovated, and gorgeous luxury mansions where no expense was spared. With more than 10,000 buildings constructed before 1930, there is a rich and varied architectural heritage in the area playing a role in Alameda's real estate market conditions. Historic Queen Anne's, more than 1,500 ornately decorated Victorians, and California Craftsmans are some of the most desirable homes here along its tree-lined streets.
When locals want to explore the various shopping, landmarks, museums, and dining, they usually head to Park Street. You may want to start your day with a visit to the Alameda Museum. Since 1948, the museum has preserved the rich history of this unique island city and offers both locals and tourists an opportunity to learn more about the great island of Alameda.
Civic pride runs high in Alameda, and many of the city’s older buildings have been fully restored or repurposed. The Alameda Theater on Park Street was restored to its art deco glory, while the Alameda Free Library was transformed from the Carnegie Library into a multimillion-dollar showplace that earned a Silver LEED certification. Alameda is also a great place for outdoor activities. The Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach is the perfect place for wind-surfing and taking a morning run near the beach.
Alameda is a great place to live if you love a vibrant atmosphere with plenty of festivals and activities to enjoy. Popular events and festivals in Downtown include a Spring Festival in May and a Classic Car Show in October. No matter the time of year, there is always something fun happening in Alameda.
