1833 & 1837 Clinton Avenue
Two Award Winning Single Family Homes + 4-Unit Apartment Building | 100% Occupied
Marketing description
Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present 1833 & 1837 Clinton Avenue, located in Alameda’s historic Leonardville district. Built in 1891 by renowned builder Joseph A. Leonard, these “fraternal twin” Queen Anne Victorians exemplify the craftsmanship and architectural charm that define the neighborhood. Both residences have been thoughtfully preserved and restored, retaining original architectural details like woodwork, coffered ceilings, art glass windows, and finely crafted trim. Beginning in 2009, longtime preservationist and former president of the Alameda Victorian Preservation Society, Jim Smallman, undertook an extensive restoration of the properties. His work included carefully removing the original stucco by hand and full foundation replacement,
returning both homes to their original Victorian character. His exceptional craftsmanship and dedication were recognized with Alameda Architectural Preservation Society (AAPS) Preservation Awards in 2011 and 2015. Today, 1833 and 1837 Clinton Avenue stand as exceptional examples
of Alameda’s Victorian heritage. They are among the few remaining mansion-scale residences built by Joseph A. Leonard that continue to function as single-family homes, with interiors that remain largely intact with their original design. The offering also includes a 1960s fourplex located at the rear of 1833 Clinton Avenue. The fourplex features all two-bedroom, one bathroom
units, each with off-street parking, providing additional income potential.
