2056 Santa Clara Ave

Stately Elegance Meets Everyday Livability. Built in 1912, this Colonial Revival masterpiece, designed by architect William Dufour, is his largest & most ambitious home. Set on a 11,000 sq ft lot, this grand Alameda property blends timeless craftsmanship with space and versatility that's rarely found today. With 5 spacious bedrooms, it offers room to grow, gather, and put down roots. Marvel at the exquisite architectural details—high ceilings, rich woodwork, oversized windows, and formal rooms built for entertaining. An eat-in kitchen connects to a classic butler’s pantry, which transitions to the formal dining room—perfect for hosting or everyday ease. Outside, the magnificent back garden is a true retreat—lush, private, and ideal for entertaining, play, or unwinding. A long driveway leads to a detached garage, ideal for an ADU conversion, workshop, or creative studio. Need more room? A giant basement offers bonus space today and the cavernous, unfinished attic is brimming with potential-the possibilities are endless. Explore Alameda and see why so many fall in love with island living. From its charming neighborhoods to its strong sense of of community, this is a place where connections run deep and the pace just feels right. Come see why this is your forever home.
